Chief Executive received a report detailing an illegal land reclamation project in Hac Sa Village in Coloane.
The government is planning to build two more links between the land reclamation area known as Zone A and the peninsula, in addition to the previously-planned link which is slated to be completed by the end of the year.
A senior member of the Macau Institution of Engineers, Leong Hong Sai, said on Thursday that his group was proposing reclaiming land along the west coast of the peninsula 5.5 metres higher than the current sea level.
