MACAU Stanley Ho, patriarch of Macau casinos, friend of China and the Church, has died - AsiaNews
2020/05/26 —By the time he retired from business last year, he had amassed a wealth of 50 billion Hong Kong dollars [nearly 6 billion euros]. This great wealth has allowed him to be generous and he was engaged in many charitable and cultural activities. He also respected of the work of the Catholic Church. Among the things they remember about him, is the concession for religious personnel to travel for free between Macau and Hong Kong. Some Catholics recall that in the 1990s the Vatican also awarded him the honor of the order of Saint Gregory for service to the Church and to the population.
Stanley Ho has however received honors from many parts: from the British, when they dominated Hong Kong; by Tung Chee-hwa, first governor of the territory after returning to China; by the Portuguese government in Macau, and by the Macao government after returning to China, which even dedicated a road to him while he was still alive.
He was among the writers of Macau's Basic Law, for the passage of the island to China, and among the advisors for the Basic Law of Hong Kong.
