18 April 2024 – Since 2019, SJM Resorts, S.A. (“SJM”) has always promoted patriotic education by organising visits for its employees to the National Security Education Exhibition. This year, about 300 employees participated in the event and deepened their understanding of the advancements made in national security, which in turn enhances their appreciation of their duty and obligation to uphold national security and the sustained implementation of “One Country, Two Systems” in Macau. The National Security Education Exhibition is jointly organised by the Macau SAR Government and the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macau SAR from 15 April to 15 May at the Macao Forum.

Ms. Angela Leong, Director of SJM and Chairman of the Staff Welfare Consultative Committee (“SWCC”) of SJM, along with other management and team members from various departments, visited the National Security Education Exhibition on 18 April 2024. This year’s exhibition, themed “10th Anniversary of a Holistic Approach to National Security – Leading the Way with Innovative Thinking”, showcases accomplishments under the national security system and its advancements in safeguarding the new development landscape. It highlighted breakthroughs in five key areas including economy, technology, national security and foreign affairs over the past decade. Additionally, it highlighted how the Macau SAR actively integrated itself into the national development plan and how the people of Macau as a whole safeguarded their national sovereignty, security and development with the strong support of the Central Government. The exhibition guides offered in-depth explanations on the spot, complemented by vivid printed materials, photo panels and historical footage, enriching participants’ sense of national belonging and pride while enhancing their comprehension of national security strategies. This experience also underscored the significance of national security for the steady advancement of Macau’s society and fostered societal unity and self-assurance in order to shape a prosperous future for Macau together.

Ms. Daisy Ho, Managing Director of SJM, remarked: “Loving the Motherland and Macau are core values at SJM, and we consider it our own responsibility to nurture the patriotic spirit of our staff to effectively promote patriotic education. Together, the company supports the nation and the Macao SAR Government through action to help foster Macau’s active integration into the national development plan. One of the most important yearly events in our patriotic education initiatives was visiting the National Security Education Exhibition, which helped team members fully comprehend how important maintaining national security is to Macau’s prosperity and stability. This experience inspired them to actively preserve and honour the state system, and to instill in our next generation a sense of adherence to and preservation of the law.”

Ms. Angela Leong, Director of SJM and Chairman of the SWCC of SJM, stated: “It is delightful to see our team members actively engaging in patriotic activities, enabling them to comprehensively understand the national security landscape and its direction. Upholding the spirit of loving the Motherland and Macau, SJM will continue to organise guided tours for team members throughout the exhibition period to strengthen their patriotic sense and motivate them to actively contribute to the nation, Macau and the company’s development and growth.”
