Dr Che-woo Lui, founder and Chairman of the Macau casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Group has made a five million patacas donation to assist the victims of the Qinghai earthquake.
Dr Lui did so via the Lui Che Woo Foundation Limited. The money was presented to the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR by Dr Lui’s son Francis Lui, the Deputy Chairman of GEG. The Liaison Office was represented at the event by Xu Shuang, Director-General of Coordination Department of the Liaison Office and Xu Chao Sheng, Deputy Director-General of Coordination Department of the Liaison Office.
In a statement Mr Lui said: “The 7.1 magnitude Qinghai Earthquake has caused massive casualties and damage to the community. As Chinese, it is extremely heartbreaking to watch the news, to see thousands of fellow comrades lose their families, friends and homes. On the National Day of Mourning, all StarWorld staff members had observed three minutes’ silence and at the same time halted all public entertainment to express condolence over the victims of the Qinghai Earthquake.”
“On behalf of all of us at Lui Che Woo Foundation and GEG, I extend our deepest condolence to all those affected. In addition, we would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to all the brave and selfless individuals who are contributing to the rescue efforts in mist of the aftermath. We here wish to make a contribution, to assist the victims in overcoming their current difficulties. We also hope that the people in Qinghai can pull together and start rebuilding their lives and homes”, added Mr Lui.
