The Legal Affairs Bureau (DSAJ) announced in a statement yesterday that in order to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law of the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) of the People’ s Republic of China (PRC), a raft of “vibrant” activities will be held from this month through December, including seminars, speech contests, carnivals, and training sessions.
The MSAR Basic Law was promulgated by the nation’s then-president Jiang Zemin in Beijing on March 31, 1993.
The 10-month event themed “Know the law by heart, abide by the law”, aims to deepen the public’s understanding of the Macau Basic Law and carry forward the fine tradition of loving the country and Macau, the statement said.
The events will be organised by the Macao Basic Law Promotion Association, Legal Affairs Bureau (DSAJ), Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM), and the Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ).
Meanwhile, the organisers will jointly host an academic seminar on Thursday at the Macau Science Centre (MSC), themed “The Nation’s 15th Five Year Plan and the Sustainable Development of the Macau SAR”, the statement said, adding that experts and scholars from Macau and the Chinese mainland will be invited to discuss the development of the “One Country, Two Systems” principle in the new era.
In addition, the organisers will host a Macau Basic Law popularisation carnival on Saturday in Praça do Tap Siac. Through law-themed booths, parent child challenge games, Q&A sessions, stage performances, and other activities, the public will be able to learn about the Macau Basic Law in a relaxed and enjoyable setting, the statement added.
Other joint activities include Macau Basic Law training courses, parent child challenge games, speech contests, online prize quizzes, and on-campus Basic Law promotion competitions, which will take place from this month until the end of the year.
