Former Macau Secretary for Economy and Finance Tai Kin Ip has been appointed as a member of the Macau International Airport Company’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee, according to an executive order published in the Official Gazette on Wednesday.
Tai resigned on April 16th for ‘personal reasons’, just 16 months after taking office, and was later formally removed from the post by the State Council.
No successor has yet been appointed to the role of Secretary for Economy and Finance, which oversees Macau’s gaming industry through the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ).
The appointment was part of a broader reshuffle of the airport operator’s governing bodies.
The Macau International Airport Company also named former Legislative Assembly vice president Chui Sai Cheong as chairman of the Board of Directors, succeeding Ma Iao Hang.
Zhang Yun replaced Simon Chan as chairman of the company’s Executive Committee, although Chan remains a committee member. Pun Weng Kun, the former Sports Bureau president who coordinated Macau’s participation in the 15th National Games, has also joined the Executive Committee.
