Technical Training Skills to Strenghten the Construction Sector in Cambodia 

Quoted from The Commercial News 

Translated by Mr. Pen Virak, Assistant to CFO 

MOU signing ceremony on “Technical and 

Professional Training Cooperation” between 

Cambodia Contructors Association (CCA) and the 

Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training was held 

on 25 th October 2012 at the 28 th floor of Canadia 

Tower. This signing ceremony was presided over 

by H.E Mr. Pich Sophan, Acting Minister of Labor 

and Vocational Training, and Mr. Pung Kheav Se, 

Chairman of Canadia Bank Plc, and concurrently 

the CCA Chairman as well. The main purpose 

of this cooperation was aimed at supporting 

and strengthening the construction sector of 

the country, introducing local and international 

construction standards to the technical workers, 

and enhancing their professional capacities to help 

build Cambodia towards sustainable development 

and growth. 

Mr. Pung Kheav Se highlighted that after its 

establishment for more than one year and a 

half, the Cambodia Constructors Association has 

been trying to promote the construction sector 

development in Cambodia, and also integrating it 

into the ASEAN Constructors Federation (ACF) that 

includes member countries such as Indonesia, 

Malaysia, the Phillipines, Singapore, Thailand, 

Vietnam, and most recently the Kingdom of 

Cambodia. 

The signing of MOU between the Cambodia 

Constructors Association and the Ministry of 

Labor and Vocational Training of Cambodia was 

to provide training on the technical foundation 

and skills including brick cutting, walling, concrete 

mixing, wall concreting, wall decorating, and 

water and electricity installation to Cambodian 

technicians. These are the basic skills and technical 

construction requirements to meet with both local 

and international standards. 

Thailand is now facing inadequate number of 

construction workers due to high payment offered 

by neighboring countries whereas, Cambodian 

workers are leaving for Thailand to find some job, 

said Mr. Pung Kheav Se. According to the research, 

Thailand needs about 300,000 construction 

workers in the year 2013. This could be a good 

opportunity for Cambodian workers to obtain 

job over there. Therefore, the country should pay 

more attention in providing training on technical 

skills to construction workers in order for them 

to be well prepared for this kind of job inside and 

outside the country. 

After attending this training course, participants 

will be able to improve their skills and experiences 

related to construction, and answer the current 

needs of the market. When having high skills 

and abilities, they no longer have to look for jobs 

outside the country, added Mr. Pung Kheav Se. 

Simultaneously, H.E Mr. Pich Sophan admired 

this technical training skills which is being organized 

by the Cambodia Constructors Association. He also 

expressed that this could be one of the effective 

measures to prevent workers from finding jobs 

outside the country. They could find jobs in the 

country with higher payments. He added that the 

ASEAN integration into the regional market by the 

year 2015, would be a compelling challenge for 

our workers if they did not have high knowledge 

and good construction skills.

Business Etiquette Training 

Written by Mr. Aing Huy, Investment Dep’t 

Translated by Miss. Traing Muyly, Head of Correspondent Banking & SWIFT 

Business etiquette is an integral part of personal 

accomplishment, and proper business etiquette 

can promote individual career development. 

Proper business etiquette is not only to improve 

the image of the individual, but also to enhance 

the company’s overall image. Hence, business 

etiquette is a vital part of the enterprise’s culture. 

Last 20 th October 2012, under the instructions 

of Mr. Pung Kheav Se, Chairman of Canadia Bank, 

the Private Banking Manager has organized 

and invited the instructor Ms. Cheng Xiao Wei, 

Head, Educational Administration Section from 

“Confucius Institute” to conduct a Business 

Etiquette Guidance and Training for 24 Canadia 

Bank personnel from different departments. The 

aim was to improve the etiquette culture, mainly 

related to various business situations such as 

learning how to greet customers, enhancing 

the enterprise’s image, personal image, and 

professional image. The requirements of the codes 

of conduct in the business communications were 

appearance, grooming, deportment, language, 

etc. 

During the training course, the instructor 

divided the participants into four groups. Each 

team was asked to create their own group’s name, 

and participated in all kind of class activities 

such as asking and answering questions, and 

demonstrating various business etiquettes. The 

training’s ambience was lively and active, and 

participants learned a lot of new knowledge and 

enhanced teamwork. During the presentation, the 

instructor has mentioned that “if customers like 

you, they will also like your products. The process 

of interaction and the initial contact with a person 

or a thing are the first impression which people 

usually evaluate the level (price) of things, and 

to some extent they will determine the quality of 


relationship between pros and cons”. 

Therefore, learning appropriate business 

etiquette in the process of interacting with 

customers, and in giving customers a good 

impression is very essential. The customers’ 

judgments are their standard. The ability to 

accurately understand what you think can only be 

judged by your behavior and your language. The 

way you express the meaning of the customer’s 

perception is the gap between the directions you 

need to improve and make efforts, and business 

etiquette is a way to develop your skills that 

improve people’s lifestyles. 

The training course’s contents are as follows: 

- Business occasions personal appearance 

shape 

- Business occasions dress etiquette 

- Business occasions reception etiquette 

- Business occasions meeting etiquette 

- Business form etiquette 

- Business phone etiquette 

- Communication etiquette 

In the business communication, you should 

learn empathy, be friendly, and more concerned 

about the customer’s feelings from our hearts, and 

show customers our honesty, sincerity, respect, 

self-esteem as good impression to achieve a winwin 

situation. 

All trainees will obtain substantial benefits 

from this business etiquette training. First, it 

helps improve themselves. Second, it helps 

embellish their way of living. Third, it contributes 

social interaction and improves interpersonal 

relationships. From an enterprise’s point of view, 

it enhances the enterprise’s image, improves 

customers’ satisfaction and reputation, and 

ultimately strengthens the enterprise’s economic 

and social benefits.

During this romantic time, some gentlemen

have some barbecue on the beach. It was such a 

wonderful night that we will never forget. During 

our stay at Sihanouk Ville, the team members felt

A Trip to Preah Sihanouk Ville 

Written by Trinh Mey, Settlement Officer, Cana Securities 

Translated by Lorn Sokhiang, Cana Securities Representative 

In order to promote unity, increase mutual 

understanding and communication between Cana 

Securities’s staff, and under the compelling support 

of Mr. Michael Chan, CEO of Cana Securities, 

the company organized a trip to Sihanouk Ville, 

the renowned coastal city in Cambodia. The 

trip was the first outdoor activity conducted by 

the company since its business has commenced 

about a year ago. This trip was enthusiastically 

supported by all staff, and the registered number 

of participants was more than two thirds of the 

overall employees. The organizers were the 

personnel in-charge of Human Resources affairs 

who allocated their free time one month ahead, 

to prepare this company trip with anticipation of 

obtaining a memorable and precious experience 

for all participants. 

The two-day and one night event began on 

Saturday, 22 nd September 2012, after the working 

hours at around 12:00 noon. By travelling along 

National Road number 4, the group stopped-over 

at the midway to have lunch in a restaurant named 

Phnom Tep which is famous for its variety of meat

surrounded by greeneries heading toward our 

hotel room, and it took about five minutes 

from the reception area. After laying in our 

luggage, some cheerful activities were done. 

All participants took this opportunity taking 

photographs, and sight-seeing the stunning 

sea view of Independence Beach. 

Around 7:00 p.m, we went to the Golden 

Beach Restaurant to have dinner. We sit at the 

beach enjoying our sumptous dinner, while 

the cold and fresh wind blowing from the sea 

enhanced the meal experience. After having 

dinner, we went to a KTV to sing in order to 

ease out and completely enjoy the evening. 

In the morning of the second day, after having 

buffet breakfast served at the Coral Restaurant 

located at Independence Hotel, we headed to 

our last destination which is the most famous 

and most attractive beach in Sihanouk Ville, 

the Ochheuteal Beach. Around 3:00 p.m., we 

left Sihanouk Ville and came back to Phnom 

Penh. 

Though some scheduled events were 

cancelled due to heavy rains, all of us had 

a variety of remarkable memories that 

is everlasting and will stay in our hearts. 

More importantly, this field trip has met the 

objectives of increasing mutual understanding, 

and building communciation and unity among 

the employees.
