Ho said the government has pledged to build over 7,000 new public residence flats by the end of 2009, and improve the public transport conditions by increasing the number of parking spaces and building a new light-rail system.
The official said the government in the coming year will carry out the feasibility study on the reconstruction of the region's old city and improve the life quality of the poor and to support the disabled and the aged groups.
He pledged to increase the administrative transparency and increase the administrative level.
Macao is to follow "the reform roadmap," which was worked out in 2006, to form a cleaner government, said the official.
He said the government will enhance the anti-corruption surveillance system to guarantee that public servants would fulfill their obligations legally and properly.
He pledged to grant access to the private spaces to the region' s Commission Against Corruption so that the anti-graft arm could carry out mission more effectively.
The chief executive said his government is to improve the region's educational and cultural environment and boost the progress of the 15-year free education scheme and "the quality education plan," adding that the government will help schools improve the infrastructure and logistics to ease teachers' burden and revise the current scholarship system in a bid to encourage the students to study harder.
Ho also promised to spend a bigger fund in protection of cultural and historic sites.
