IAG NOV 2022年11月 亞博匯 78 11-25 CO-CHAIRMAN AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SJM Holdings CHIEF ADMINISTRATION OFFICER SJM Resorts 聯席主席兼執行董事 澳門博彩控股有限公司 行政總監 澳娛綜合度假股份有限公司 POWER SCORE 權能指數: 893 POSITION LAST YEAR 去年排名: 13 ANGELA LEONG 13 CLAIMS TO FAME 名成事跡 Fourth wife of Stanley Ho Largest individual shareholder in SJM Holdings 何鴻燊的四太 澳博控股最大的個人股東 梁安琪 MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE on this year’s Power 50 list, SJM Holdings heavyweight and satellite casino boss Angela Leong encapsulates the hardships of Macau and its uncertain future. The fourth de facto wife of the late Stanley Ho, Leong’s once formidable power in and outside the SJM stable has receded amid SJM’s cash struggles and several legislative reforms over the last year. These include the phasing out of the operational autonomy of satellite casinos, which hurts not only SJM’s long list of satellite partners but also Leong’s own interest in the Royal L’Arc and Jai Alai properties and in the gaming possibilities of non-gaming properties such as Lisboeta. Another significant shift has seen Leong cede her Managing Director’s post at SJM Holdings’ concession-holding subsidiary, SJM Resorts, to SJM boss Daisy Ho to meet the requirements of the amended gaming law, along with 10% of SJM shares – though the value of these Class B shares is nominal. Leong remains an SJM co-chairman and major shareholder and is a lawmaker in Macau’s Legislative Assembly, but Beijing’s de facto control of gaming policymaking and any other lucrative endeavor appears to have reduced her space to maneuver as the new governance normal takes hold in Macau. 在今年的 50強榜單上，澳博控股的重量級人物、衛星賭場老闆梁安琪， 比其他任何人都更能概括澳門的艱難及不確定的未來。 梁安琪是已故的何鴻燊事實上的第四任太太，她在澳博內外一度強 大的權力，在澳博所面臨的資金困難及過去幾年間的公司架構調整中，已 經被逐漸削弱。這其中包括逐步被取消的衛星賭場的經營自主權，不僅損 害了澳娛綜合一連串的衛星合作夥伴，也損害了梁安琪本身在凱旋門和回 力的重大利益，以及葡京人等非博彩物業開賭的可能性。 另一個重要轉變是梁氏將其在澳娛綜合的常務董事之位及10%的澳 娛綜合B類股份讓渡給何超鳳，以滿足博彩法修訂後的新規定。 梁安琪仍然是澳博的聯席主席及主要股東，也是澳門的立法議員。 然而隨著新治理常態在澳門的確定，北京對博彩政策的實際影響和以及其 他任何方面的實際控制，似乎都減少了她的迴旋餘地。
