Samdech Thipadei continued – “I have been following the minimum wage discussions from the beginning. Helping to improve the living standards of the people, including the workers, is the highest priority of the Royal Government. Based on the actual possibility that the Royal Government can mediate offering to the employers, I have decided to add US$ 2/month to the figure of US$ 202/month, which is the voting result of the National Minimum Wage Council …”
“I will continue to urge the relevant ministries, institutions and authorities to monitor and put in place additional measures to determine the possibility of reducing the cost of living for workers/employees. At the same time, I will lead a meeting with the private sector in November to improve the investment and business environment in Cambodia to increase competitiveness and attract more investment and create new jobs for the people” said the Prime Minister, Samdech Thipadei./.
