Vice President of the East Asian Games Association (EAGA) Manuel Silvério attended the 5th East Asian Games Planning Committee cocktail reception and the “2009 East Asian Games Moving On Stage 1 Concert” of Eason Chan in Hong Kong to Nov 10.

To show support to the East Asian Games to be hosted by Hong Kong, local pop singer Eason Chan opened two more concerts on 10th and 11th earlier and decided to that the income generated from the 2-night ticket sales will be contributed to the 2009 Hong Kong East Asian Games Operational Fund.  The concert was held at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom yesterday.  Eason Chan showed his support to the Hong Kong East Asian Games through singing and dancing.

“Macao and Hong Kong are two adjacent cities; the preparation of Hong Kong for the East Asian Games has reminded Macao of the experience in hosting the 3 Games, meanwhile it proves once again the significance and advantage of hosting large scale sports meet,” expressed EAGA Vice President Manuel Silvério.

After the successful hosting of the 4th East Asian Games in Macao in 2005, Hong Kong has successfully bid for the hosting of the East Asian Games in 2009, and will be followed by Tianjin as the host city of the 6th East Asian Games in 2013.  To further promote the East Asian Games, Eason Chan’s fund-raising concert for the 2009 Hong Kong East Asian Games Operational Fund is probably to be followed by yet another concert before the Games, featuring singers from Hong Kong, Macao and Japan in the Hong Kong Coliseum.
