9000 patacas

For the Macanese,
the annual great event will be in July this year,
as our bank account will be credited by MOP9,000,
being a welfare or bonus to the citizens from the Macau Government.

To the people who used to be Macau residents,
especially before hand-over period,
are now staying out of Macau,
some don't have the update Macau Government official identity paper,
some may admire our bonus,
thus some tried to come back to apply for the valid ones.

For the 9000 dividends distributed each year over the past 5 years,
different people have different views:

a friend said he won't bother to spend time to apply for the update ID card,
to entitle for the annual payment,
because,
time is money,
and
he is now a successful and rich business man.

an old lady,
who has no income after the retirement,
denied to come back for the application of the valid ID,
as she said that she was thankful for staying good health,
she would like to leave the money to the needed people,
( I believe that case doesn't happen),
she is my old aunt who lives in Hong Kong.

my old classmate,
she came back to Macau several times,
but failed to get the valid Macau ID,
as she could not provide the documents to the government department.
But as we grew up together,
for sure,
we all know she was a permanent Macau resident!

The other classmate,
she spent a lot of time coming back to apply for the valid Macau ID,
eventually,
she got back her real Macau ID,
thus, every year,
she can also enjoy the bonus as we have.

For those who has immigrated to other foreign countries,
glad to hear that they would like to make the vacation back to Macau,
from time to time,
as the bonus subside the plane ticket expenses to them,
thus, they can come back to the beautiful, memorable and crowed casino city at a reasonable cost!
