A 100 million yuan donation by the public Macau Foundation (FM) to Jinan University in Guangzhou, from which thousands of local students have graduated, has caused a mixed reaction here.
While some have supported the donation as a patriotic gesture, others have rejected it due to its perceived conflict of interest.
For instance, the grassroots New Macau Association (NMA) is collecting signatures urging Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On to quit over the donation to the Guangzhou-based university. The activists also demand that the government cancel the donation.
