Macau's gaming regulator (DICJ) appoints Lei Seak Chio, a senior official from the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL), as its new deputy director, effective February 10th.

Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) is set to welcome a new deputy director, Lei Seak Chio, from the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL). The appointment, announced in the official gazette on Monday, February 3rd, will take effect on February 10th.
According to official information, Lei will serve alongside Chui Hou Ian as a deputy director at the DICJ for a one-year term. This move comes as the gaming watchdog recently appointed Lio Chi Chong as its acting head in early January, following the departure of former director Adriano Ho in December of last year.
Lei brings a wealth of experience to the DICJ. He holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering management and a master’s in public administration. His career at the DSAL began in 2005 as a technical assistant. He steadily rose through the ranks, leading a unit responsible for occupational accident inspections in 2016.
Most recently, he has served as the head of the Occupational Safety and Health Department since 2023. His background in occupational safety and public administration could prove valuable in his new role overseeing aspects of Macau's gaming industry.
The addition of Lei to the DICJ leadership team comes at a crucial time for the gaming sector, as Macau navigates evolving regulatory landscapes and industry trends. His expertise is expected to contribute to the bureau's ongoing efforts to maintain oversight and ensure the healthy development of the gaming industry.
