Macau, Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (Friday, July 5, 2010) – Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”) has always considered employees as its greatest assets, believing that their contribution and support are key components for growing its business. GEG hosted, at the grand ballroom of its flagship property – StarWorld Hotel (“StarWorld”), the StarWorld “Star of the Year” Award Presentation Ceremony earlier to celebrate the outstanding achievements of its “Star of the Month” employees.

In his speech, Mr. Lui said, “I sincerely thank all our employees for supporting our “Mission, Vision and Values” and delivering exceptional services so that our customers are able to experience GEG’s unique Asian Heart service culture. It is not easy to obtain the public’s acknowledgement, customers’ praises and investors’ trust, but we were able to achieve all this through your hard work and commitment.” At the end of his speech, Mr. Lui encouraged all “Star of the Month” recipients to continue advocating the group’s Asian Heart service culture, making visible throughout StarWorld.
