The academic year of 2020/2021 marked the 10th anniversary of Stanley Ho East Asia College. At the launch of the celebration of this special occasion, Ms. Ho Chiu Fung, Daisy, Chairman of SJM Resorts, S.A. (“SJM”) and SJM Holdings Limited, and daughter of Dr. Stanley Ho, was invited by College Master Professor Iu Vai Pan to virtually join the high table dinner of the College on 9th December 2020. Mr. Shim Ming Yi, Daniel, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer of SJM, was also invited as the guest of honour to take part in the event.
In her videotaped speech, Ms. Daisy Ho told stories and examples of Dr. Stanley Ho’s lifelong dedication and contribution to the development of Macau’s society, economy and education, as well as his deep bond with the University of Macau. Ms. Ho highlighted the meanings of the College crest and motto, both of which are comprised of Dr. Stanley Ho’s value and spirit. Ms. Ho particularly explained, “The College motto 外圓內方 meaning ‘vigorous in deed, and gentle in manner’ reminds us of the warmth, humanity and dedication that Dr. Ho instilled in all of us. From society to society is the guiding spirit that Dr. Ho implanted in all of his enterprises, and it is also what he taught me since childhood: to live with a grateful heart.”
In the end of her speech, Ms. Ho expressed her commitment to continuing her father’s mission to serve the community with priority given to education and youth development. She would anticipate more fruitful exchanges and cooperation with the College and students. Ms. Ho offered students an inspirational quote from her father as food for thought, “Knowledge is a lifelong companion, the benefit of knowledge lasts for life, not only for oneself, but for the entire community.”
During the dinner, Mr. Daniel Shim followed to share his fascinating experiences in life and career, particularly illustrating challenges he encountered during the COVID-19 crisis in the first two quarters of the year. He offered insights on how to cope with unpredictable circumstances, and advised students not to take good days for granted.
The master of ceremonies of the evening was student Ms. Lei Chi Sin, Daisy. Two talented students Mr. Leong Chi Fong, and Ms. Dai Jialin, Jolin respectively performed “J.S. Bach Suite No. 1” on viola and “Mariage d’Amour” on piano.
2020-2021年第二埸高桌晚宴：
澳娛綜合度假股份有限公司主席何超鳳女士以何鴻燊博士知識為終身夥伴的信念及其倡導澳門教育發展的精神向何鴻燊東亞書院學生寄語
2020/2021學年是何鴻燊東亞書院成立十週年。在這個特別慶祝活動的啟動儀式上，澳娛綜合度假股份有限公司（「澳娛綜合」）及澳門博彩控股有限公司主席、何鴻燊博士之女兒何超鳳女士應書院院長姚偉彬教授之邀，在線參與了書院於2020年12月9日舉行的高桌晚宴。澳娛綜合首席企業事務總監沈銘義先生亦受邀作為主賓參加了此次晚宴。
何超鳳女士在演講錄像中講述了何鴻燊博士畢生對澳門社會、經濟和教育發展的貢獻，以及何博士與澳門大學的深厚淵源。何超鳳女士闡述了何鴻燊東亞書院的院徽和院訓含義，兩者均包含何鴻燊博士的價值觀和精神。她解釋道：「院訓『外圓內方』，意為『處事剛毅，待人溫良』，讓我們想起何鴻燊博士的關愛和奉獻精神。取諸社會，用諸社會，是何博士植入旗下企業的指導精神，也是他自小給我的教誨：做人要常懷感恩的心。」
最後，何超鳳女士在演講中表示，她將繼續履行父親服務社會的使命，並優先考慮教育及青年發展。她期待與書院及各位同學有更多的交流與合作。何超鳳女士引用父親的勵志名言寄語同學深思：「知識才是你的終身夥伴，不僅畢生受用，更可惠澤社群。」
