Offering employees the perfect opportunity for team building and self-discovery, Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”)’s Staff Social Club organized the “2010 Galaxy Got Talent”. Announced today, GEG will hold the “2010 Galaxy Got Talent” Grand Finals on September 8, next Wednesday evening, inside the Grand Ballroom of its flagship property, StarWorld Hotel (“StarWorld”). In addition to being a “center-stage” for team members to share and parade their talents to hundreds of attending teammates and coworkers, GEG hopes to show the Group’s care for the community by donating all of the Grand Finals’ ticket sales to an orphanage in mainland China’s Sichuan Province through Macau’s Cradle of Hope.

Endeavoring to assist employees with their career development and establishment of a healthy work-life balance, GEG is attentive to all aspects that ascertain each individual’s development needs. “Galaxy Got Talent” is a more relaxed approach to give employees an opportunity for self-discoveries, so that employees can acknowledge and make better use of their strengths and talents for further growth. Seen as a fun-filled event where GEG members gather to compete with and cheer for one another, “Galaxy Got Talent” aims to raise donations through ticket sales so as to assist the Macau Cradle of Hope in its mission to enhance the living conditions of orphans at Jingyang District’s Social Welfare in Deyang City, Sichuan.

Following last year’s success, GEG received an overwhelming response from team members who auditioned for this year’s “2010 Galaxy Got Talent”. After three separate days of auditions, 16 groups were shortlisted for entry into the “Galaxy Got Talent” Grand Final, which takes place on September 8, next Wednesday evening. A fun but serious competition, the finalists are up against the following judges: Ms. Eileen Lui, GEG’s Director of Human Resources & Administration, Mr. John Ku, Director of Newround Music, Ms. Bebe Bian, former member of the Shanghai Singing Group

“Meigui Show”, Ms. Trancy Koh, Project Director of “2010 Galaxy Got Talent” and Vice Chairman of GEG’s Staff Social Club. Ms. Elena Kong and Ms. Joyce Tang – two renowned TVB artists from Hong Kong, are specially invited to be the show’s guest judges. Because both artists themselves recognize the significance of GEG’s efforts to raise donations for Sichuan’s orphans, they agreed to sit on the judging panel on a voluntary basis.

Ms. Trancy Koh said, “Many of our sponsors this year have seen the success we had with last year’s “Galaxy Got Talent”. Thus, Hong Tai Travel Service Limited, EGL Tours, Air Macau, CTM, Microsoft, HP, Jardine One Solution, Remy Martin, and Joy’s Chin Salon, all agreed to generously sponsor the talent show. With more than MOP 110,000 worth of prizes to compete for, this year’s Grand Final will be very competitive. All 16 finalists have excellent performances and they are well matched in strength. All of us at GEG look forward to seeing their excellent performances next week”.
