I am a Hong Kong registered doctor. I spoke to cleaning ladies who laughed and shook their heads. I spoke to the Red Cross desk. I spoke to the restaurateurs on the food stalls who said it has been like this for two years and they had complained. The policeman said it wasn’t a crime. And the organisers said it was a problem of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (and that they didn’t work on a Sunday).

Perhaps by highlighting this the municipal services will provide locals and tourists with soap in public facilities (as this is normal in Hong Kong, so why not in Macau?).
