Over the years, the Financial Intelligence Office (GIF) has been carrying out public awareness programs to juveniles to pass on the knowledge of anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), with an aim to allow more young people aware of the risks and harms of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF).

On 29 March 2022, GIF organized “Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Seminar" at Macau Polytechnic University (MPU). Representatives from GIF include Ms. Fong Iun Kei, Deputy Director of GIF, Mr. Fong Iek Lou, Functional Chief and Ms. Tang Oi I, Senior Officer. During the seminar, through the sharing of different case studies and crime prevention videos, GIF representatives explained to the students of the Faculty of Business of MPU about the legislation of AML/CFT in Macao, not only to strengthen their understandings on the latest trends of ML crimes, but also to enhance their awareness on the preventive measures, in order to avoid being fallen into traps of ML crimes. At the same time, the future development and prospects of the compliance industry were also introduced to students, so as to help them better plan their career path, and help to cultivate more professionals in this field for the future.

This event was greatly supported by MPU, with a total of 70 teachers and students participated in the seminar, including Dr. Lei Ngan Lin, Vice-Rector of MPU, Mr. Huang Guihai, Dean of the Faculty of Business, Mr. Fong Chun Cheong, Programme Coordinator and Ms. Lao Weng Ian, Head of the Student Affairs Office.
