Macao One Account 2.0 is now providing two new services – “scheduling of venues and facilities” and “registration for activities”.
The aim is to integrate the venue and facility bookings and activity registrations which are currently provided by official websites and mobile apps.
Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau (SAFP) Deputy Director Ng Wai Han said the new services should make residents’ daily life more convenient.
Ng noted that as of the end of last month, over 400,000 residents had registered for the Macao One Account.
In the first phase, Ng said, the appointment service has been launched for 19 venues and facilities run by the Municipal Affairs Bureau and the Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau, adding that the Macao One Account’s users can book facilities and venues run by the two bureaus.
Information such as the venue or facility’s name, picture, size, capacity and rental fee will be displayed on the Macao One Account, in order to make it more convenient for the public to make an appointment and pay the fee online at once via their mobile applications.
Ng also said that as renting the Municipal Affairs Bureau’s venues and facilities is only possible for Friends of IAM members, an application service for the respective membership cards has been added to the Macao One Account.
Enrolment services, on the other hand, will also be integrated with different entities’ activity registration systems, Ng noted, pointing out that between this month and October over 120 kinds of recreational and sports activities, such as interest classes, workshops and seminars, with more than 2,500 vacancies, on offer by the Municipal Affairs Bureau, the Education and Youth Development Bureau, Macao Foundation and the Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau, will be available in the Macao One Account.
Ng added that members of the public can search by activity type, service group and government entities, sign up for the activities they are interested in, make the necessary payments, and check the records.
In the next stage, Ng said, the services will be extended to the Sports Bureau and the Cultural Affairs Bureau.
Municipal Affairs Bureau’s (IAM) Integrated Services and Quality Supervision Department Chief Ho Cheng Wa said that residents can now apply for Friends of IAM membership by filling in their personal information and choosing a profile photo they might have added to My Photo in their Macao One Account. He added that members can show their digital card from My Card Package in the account when participating in IAM activities or using IAM venues and facilities.
Macao Foundation (FM) General Affairs Department Chief Chan Chung Yan announced that the foundation will integrate the applications for Macao Young Artists Promotion Project complementary activities with the registration service in the Macao One Account, adding that the activities, such as parent-child workshops, creative experiences and seminars, will be hosted by artists participating in the project.
Chan noted that children aged between eight and 12 will be able to sign up for the complementary activity of the Bazaar – Exhibition of artworks by Lio Hak Man project, with free admission, The Macau Post Daily reported.
