Wong Sio Chak, the man in charge of security in Macau, is the newest member of the government’s Gaming Commission, Reuters reported.

The secretary for security will join the eight other officials, including the current head of the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), Macau’s chief executive and the secretary for economy and finance, who are currently on the commission’s board. Prior to his appointment, Wong served as a representative of the security body in the commission.

According to a GGRAsia report, four out of Macau’s five government secretaries are members of the commission.

Created in 2000, the Gaming Commission was instrumental in the liberalization of the former Portuguese colony’s gaming industry, which opened its doors to foreign operators such as Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn.
