IAG NOV 2021年11月 亞博匯 78 11-25 MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CHIEF ADMINISTRATION OFFICER SJM Resorts CO-CHAIRMAN AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SJM Holdings 常務董事兼行政總監 澳娛綜合度假股份有限公司 聯席主席兼執行董事 澳門博彩控股有限公司 CLAIMS TO FAME 名成事跡 POWER SCORE 權能指數: 1,186 POSITION LAST YEAR 去年排名: 11 Fourth wife of Stanley Ho Largest individual shareholder in SJM Holdings Serving fifth term on Macau Legislative Assembly • • • • • • 何鴻燊的四太 澳博控股最大的個人股東 在澳門立法會第五度出任議員 ANGELA LEONG 梁安琪 13 FROM ONE POINT OF VIEW , Angela Leong has had to cede a certain level of control of SJM Holdings to other elements of the greater Ho family. But from another, her star may be rising even higher. Since the 2020 passing of de facto husband Stanley Ho, Leong has consolidated her financial and commercial influence. As to her political health, it’s difficult to predict who the Chinese government will really stick with, but Leong has been one of Macau’s most visible supporters of Beijing and its “Greater Bay Area” doctrine. Elected in September to a fifth term in the Legislative Assembly – this time on the indirect candidate list, meaning she had no competitors – Leong is the only lawmaker left who possesses serious gaming industry interests and experience. After respected gaming scholar Davis Fong’s eyebrow-raising ouster from the list of Chief Executive-appointed lawmakers, all eyes and ears will be on Leong when casino concession law amendments come to the Assembly floor – not so much for what ought to change, as for learning what must be swallowed. Leong’s SJM role and considerable shareholding, her significant interest in satellite casino properties Le Royal Arc and Jai Alai, and her influence over a future casino at her son Arnaldo’s newly-opened Lisboeta precinct opposite Grand Lisboa Palace, mean that she will be doubly impacted by any amendments that hurt SJM or obstruct the grandfathering of satellite operations. More than ever before, Leong is a weathervane for the Chinese half of Macau’s casino inventory. 從某種角度來看 ，梁安琪不得不把澳博控股的部分的控制權讓與何氏家族 的其他成員。但從另一個角度來看，其實有望更上一層樓。 自從梁安琪事實上的丈夫何鴻燊於2020年去世後，她就已經出手鞏 固自己的財政及商業影響力。至於她的政治生涯，雖然很難去預計中國政 府真正會繼續支持何人，但梁安琪一直是北京及「大灣區」在澳門最明顯 的支持者之一。 梁安琪於九月獲選第五度進入澳門立法會。由於這次是通過間選名單 當選，所以她在這次選戰中並沒有對手。在今屆的議員當中，梁安琪是唯 一一個擁有厚雄博彩業利益及經驗的立法會成員。隨著廣受尊重的博彩學 者馮家超意外地被剔出行政長官委任議員名單，當博彩法修訂法案被送入 立法殿堂時，所有注意力都會集中到梁安琪身上——關注的可能不是甚麼 應該被修改，而是甚麼必須被接受。 梁安琪在澳博的角色及可觀的持股量、她在衛星賭場物業凱旋門和回 力的重大利益以及她對於兒子何猷亨那新近開業、位處上葡京對面的葡京 人地段的未來賭場的影響力，都意味著如果修法後有任何對於澳博的衝擊 或者阻礙到既有的衛星賭場運作的話，她都會受到雙重的打擊。 梁安琪現在比往任何時候都更能成為代表澳門博彩業界半壁江山的中 國賭場的風向標。
