PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): The Covid-19 pandemic brought high-rise building construction in Preah Sihanouk province to a halt when it began, resulting in several business disputes that four real estate companies are now working together to solve, according to provincial governor Kuch Chamroeun.

Chamroeun told The Post last week that the number of high-rise buildings in the province had reached about 1,000 before the pandemic. Some of the construction was temporarily suspended due to the crisis and has also led to conflicts which require solutions before the construction can continue.
