'''Fernando Chui Sai On''' {{post-nominals|list=[[Order of Merit (Portugal)|GCM]] [[Grand Lotus Medal of Honour|GML]]}} ({{zh|c=崔世安|j=Ceoi1 Sai3 On1}}; born 13 January 1957) is a Macau politician who served as the 2nd [[chief executive of Macau]] from 2009 to 2019. He served as [[Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture (Macau)|secretary for social and cultural affairs]] from 1999 to 2009.

Chui was born in 1957 to local construction tycoon [[Chui Tak Seng]] and [[Chan Keng Fan]], the second son after [[Chui Sai Cheong]]. His wife is a niece of the late Hong Kong tycoon [[Henry Fok]] Ying-tung.

==Education==
In Macau, Chui attended [[Lingnan High School]] and then finished high school at [[Hawaiian Mission Academy]] in [[Honolulu]] before pursuing his post-secondary education. Chui obtained his university training in the United States where he obtained his various degrees:

* Bachelor's degree in City Hygiene Administration from [[California State University, Sacramento]]<ref name=wsj>{{cite news|last=Cheng |first=Jonathan |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB124858195396381583 |title=Macau Picks Chief in Time of Transition |work=The Wall Street Journal |date=27 July 2009 |access-date=29 January 2012}}</ref>
* PhD in Public Health at the [[University of Oklahoma]]<ref name=wsj/>
* Registered member of the American Association of Public Hygiene
* Registered member of the American Association for the Management of Medical Affairs

He was guest professor at the Huanan Teachers Training University.{{clarification needed|date=October 2022|reason=Is this referring to [[South China Normal University]]/华南师范大学 or some other university?}}

Due to studying in the United States at a younger age, Chui did not have the opportunity to study [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]] ([[Putonghua]]), and thus does not speak it well. This was evident when he made his oath of acceptance as Chief Executive of Macao in front of Chinese leader [[Hu Jintao]].

==Chief Executive of Macau==
Prior to becoming Chief Executive, Chui served as a member of the 5th Legislative Assembly of Macau.

In June 2009 Chui was declared to be the sole candidate for the position of Macau's chief executive. He was nominated by 286 members of the 300-member election committee. On election day, 26 July 282 committee members voted for Chui (14 blank, 4 abstention), and was subsequently appointed by [[Wen Jiabao]], [[Premier of the People's Republic of China|Premier of China]]. He assumed his new role as Chief Executive of Macau in December 2009.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Pomfret |first=James |date=26 July 2009 |title=FACTBOX – Five facts about Macau and new leader Fernando Chui |work=Reuters |editor-last=Macfie |editor-first=Nick |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/newsMaps/idUSTRE56P07Q20090726 |access-date=29 January 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Hui |first=Polly |date=11 July 2009 |title=Macau's sole leadership candidate denies link to land deal |agency=Agence France-Presse |url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jof72hG-k1-NQBPcrwPMoubnRI2A |access-date=29 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110312105519/https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jof72hG-k1-NQBPcrwPMoubnRI2A |archive-date=12 March 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=26 July 2009 |title=Macao kicks off third-term chief executive election |agency=Xinhua News Agency |url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-07/26/content_11773618.htm |url-status=dead |access-date=29 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102131756/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-07/26/content_11773618.htm |archive-date=2 November 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last1=Olczak |first1=Nicholas |last2=Smith |first2=Shelley |date=26 July 2009 |title=Incoming Macau Chief Brings Hopes of Casino Recovery (Update1) |work=Bloomberg |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=a_FqQ103U.JQ |access-date=29 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025100901/https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=a_FqQ103U.JQ |archive-date=25 October 2012}}</ref>

* member of the Youth Committee of the Macau Government
* headmaster of the Kiang Ping School

==Scandals==
Chui has been linked to several scandals during his time as a minister of [[Edmund Ho]]'s administration.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Macau's election a sure bet |url=http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/KF25Ad02.html |last=Cohen |first=Muhammad |date=25 June 2009 |website=Asia Times Online |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090706194940/http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/KF25Ad02.html |archive-date=6 July 2009 |url-status=unfit |access-date=29 January 2012}}</ref>

Most notably, the [[East Asian Games]] in 2005 were run under Chui's portfolio and put him in the midst of the [[Ao Man Long]] scandal. The games ran over budget by 70%. Ao allegedly received a MOP50 million (US$6.2 million) bribe in connection with the construction contract for the games' centerpiece, the Macau Dome indoor arena. Overall, that project wound up costing MOP640 million, MOP285 million over budget. As a result, he was extremely unpopular amongst the pro-democracy camp even before he was elected as the chief executive.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hojemacau.com/news.phtml?today=25_May_2009&type=politics |title = HOME}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Neves |first=Patrícia |date=8 August 2009 |title=Associação entregou petição e quer explicações do governo na AL |language=pt |trans-title=Association delivered petition and wants explanations from the government in the legislative assembly |work=[[Jornal Tribuna de Macau]] |url=http://www.jtm.com.mo/view.asp?dT=323603002 |url-status=dead |access-date=29 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120226085440/http://www.jtm.com.mo/view.asp?dT=323603002 |archive-date=26 February 2012 }}</ref>
In 2016, Chui was caught up in allegations of transferring Macau's reserves to the mainland. He was accused of favouritism after the Macau Foundation – a quasi-official foundation of which he is chairman and of which his brother heads the supervisory board – donated 100 million yuan ($15.4 million) of public money to [[Jinan University]] in Guangzhou, of which he is deputy head of the board. The Macanese government said that the donation was made in return for China's long-standing support to the SAR.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Lau |first=Stuart |date=8 May 2016 |title=Macau leader accused of 'favouritism' after 100m yuan university donation |work=South China Morning Post |url=https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1942540/macau-leader-accused-favouritism-after-100m-yuan-university-donation}}</ref>
