Chief Executive of the Macao Special Administrative Region Edmund Ho Hau Wah said Sunday night that he feels deeply regretful about the passing away of Henry Fok Ying-tung, vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee.

"Mr. Fok was a successful entrepreneur and a patriotic charitarian as well," Ho said.

Fok had long worked with singular devotion on the sectors of education, health, sports, science, art, culture and the social welfare, Ho said.

He added that Fok also had made great contribution to the economic, social and cultural development of both Hong Kong and Macao.

Fok established the Fok Ying Tung Foundation in Macao in 2002 to support the development of education, medicine, sports and culture in Macao and on the Chinese mainland.
