More than 10,000 Macau students are expected to take an oath rejecting gambling as part of a social awareness campaign.

Seven Protestant organisations have joined forces to create the Shining Life Movement Association.

The movement, which was launched in Macau earlier this year, aims to encourage young people not to get involved in gambling.

Pastor David Wong, one of the organisers, said more than 5,400 signatures were collected from students, who had pledged not to gamble. The petition was handed over to the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau.

The latest campaign, launched last month, aims to gather each student's fingerprint and oath renouncing gambling. An oath-taking ceremony will be held on December 30 at Tap Seac Plaza.

Pastor Wong said more than 500 students were expected to attend the ceremony.
