Sun, 2 May 2021
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and Housing Developers Association of Cambodia (HDAC) have joined hands to establish a joint technical working group to oversee and monitor traffic related to telecoms services at borey gated housing complexes and co-ownership buildings often plagued by intermittent slow-downs.
A discussion on challenges and solutions related to telecommunications services in boreys and co-ownership buildings was held via video link on April 29 with minister Chea Vandeth, HDAC president Ly Hour and around 70 stakeholders in attendance.
Vandeth said setting up the working group to address challenges individually would help improve the efficiency and quality of mobile and internet services at these locations, stressing the urgency of the situation.

MELAKA: Housing developers in the state are relieved that the Melaka government has deferred the implementation of a state housing policy requiring new residential schemes to set aside 70% of houses as bumiputra units.
Real Estate and Housing Developers Association (Rehda) Melaka chapter chairman Datuk Ng Choon Koon said he received an official letter from Melaka Land and Mines director Datuk Md Azhan Samat on Monday (April 19) regarding temporary suspension of the policy.
“Housing developers in Melaka are thankful to Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali and key officials for listening to our plight.
“Rehda had earlier appealed against the policy, which was supposed to come into force on April 1, as the policy would restrict the creativity and innovation of developers in meeting the niche market output,” he said in an interview on Monday (April 19).
