Luncheon Plenary by Special Guest Speaker
Grand Ballroom, Level 1
As ASEAN economies continue to thrive, investment opportunities increase and demand for infrastructure projects continues to grow, governments are now transforming the political and legislative landscape of the infrastructure sector. With the region seeking to introduce PPP projects at a rapid pace, now is the time for increased international collaborations and to learn from other markets. How can we actively share best practice? What can be learnt from previous developments? And, most importantly, how can the ASEAN community better prepare and design more efficient infrastructure projects?

Project Sharing by MCC Land Singapore
When we talk about Cambodia, we will associate her with Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s busy capital, sits at the junction of Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. It was a hub for both the Khmer Empire and French colonialists. Siem Reap is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer Kingdom from the 9th – 15th centuries.
Little is known about the hidden jewel located off the south coast of Cambodia. The aim of this presentation is to give you a glimpse of this emerging jewel which will be a liveable, smart, and innovative city.
