entertaining talents. With “The Perfect 10” as the theme of Galaxy Got Talent 2018, new
elements were incorporated to celebrate the 10-year milestone, such as the Galaxy
Team Member Fun Day, which advocated the importance of environmental protection.
In the spirit of GEG’s philosophy of “what is taken from the community is to be used for
the good of the community”, funds from ticket sales, as well as a grant from GEG, were
donated to Caritas Macau. Honorary guests of the event included: Ms. Zhu Hong,

Attracting an audience of over 1,000 people, the Grand Final of Galaxy Got Talent 2018
was held on September 13 at Broadway Theatre. To celebrate the 10 th anniversary of
the event, some of the finalists from the previous nine years returned to the stage to
kick off this year’s Grand Final with dance and musical performances. Following them, a
group of elderly residents of the Caritas’s Longevity Special Day Care Center took the
stage to perform the “Happy Dance”. Afterwards, a cheque for MOP100,000, raised
from ticket sales and GEG donations, was handed to Caritas Macau, to support the
development of Caritas’ community services. The honorary guests, along with Mr.
Robert Drake, Group Chief Financial Officer of GEG; Ms. Eileen Lui, Group Director of
Human Resources and Administration of GEG; and Mr. Kevin Kelley, Chief Operating
Officer, Macau of GEG, then commenced the finalist performances. The 10 groups of
finalists wowed the audience with performances – both Chinese and international,
contemporary and traditional – which ranged from magic shows and opera to
contemporary and folk dance. Meticulous attention to detail was evident in the stage
decoration, as well as the finalists’ costumes and make-up. The contestants brought the
audience to its feet with their wonderful performances, which were scored by a panel of
judges that included Mr. Li Hung Kit, experienced Hong Kong artist and choreographer;
Professor Joseph Victor Gonzales, Head of Academic and Contextual Studies in Dance
and MFA Coordinator (Dance), the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts; Mr. Paul,

Ms. Trancy Koh, Vice President of Production, Entertainment, GEG and Director of
Galaxy Got Talent 2018, said, “It is the 10 th anniversary of Galaxy Got Talent. The
company has shown continuous support over the years, which reflects its emphasis on
the development of team members’ talents. From the first Galaxy Got Talent till now, we
have been striving to provide the perfect stage for our contestants, whose talents are in
full bloom. The finalists have come a long way through all the elimination stages. No
matter whether they bring home a prize or not, they have proven themselves to be
outstanding performers.” In addition to the talent competition, GEG executives dressed
up as classic movie characters and thrilled the audience with a special act, which
enlivened the night’s atmosphere while representing GEG’s Asian Heart service
philosophy: attentive, warm, respectful, sincere, culturally sensitive, from the heart,
anticipatory and passionate.
At the GEG Team Member Fun Day, team members were invited to play games to win
prizes. Moreover, delectable snacks were prepared for team members by the F&B
teams at GEG’s flagship properties. Echoing the Macau SAR Government’s vision of
“building a low-carbon Macau, creating green living together”, GEG has been
proactively promoting the concept of energy conservation and sustainable development.
The GEG Team Member Fun Day focused on green living. In addition to inviting team
members to build game booths with reused materials, GEG also encouraged team
members to bring their own utensils to enjoy the Fun Day’s food offerings while
reducing the use of disposable utensils.
Over these 10 years, Galaxy Got Talent has been the stage where GEG team members
showcase their talents, as well as one of the platforms through which GEG spread love
and care across Macau. Beneficiary organizations have included Caritas Macau,
Fountain of Hope, Fuhong Society of Macau, Association of Parents of the People with
Intellectual Disabilities of Macau, Macau Down Syndrome Association and Macau
Special Olympics. Moving forward, GEG will continue to promote a healthy work-life
