MACAU — The world's casino capital is set to elect its next top leader, but there is little buzz about the upcoming election for Macau's top office. After all, there is only one candidate on the ballot, and the system allows several people to participate in the process.
“For ordinary people in Macau, the chief executive election has always been a show to watch,” Au Kam-san, a retired pro-democracy lawmaker, told Nikkei Asia. “There is no universal suffrage where we don't vote and nominate.”
