E-government blockchain training course announced

The Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation, in collaboration with the National Productivity Centre of Cambodia (NPCC) and the Asian Productivity Organization (APO), has announced a training course on blockchain technology application in e-government.

The event, being held from August 5-9 in Phnom Penh aims to explore the practical uses of blockchain technology in enhancing e-government systems, with a special highlight on the National Bank of Cambodia’s (NBC) pioneering blockchain initiatives.

Ministry secretary of state and APO director for Cambodia Phork Sovanrith presided over the opening event.

Twenty-four participants from Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkiye and Vietnam attended the course, providing a diverse platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration.

One of the highlights of the training will be a visit to the NBC.

“NBC has been a trailblazer in adopting blockchain technology, particularly with its Bakong payment service, which facilitates seamless transactions across banking institutions through a mobile app,” stated Sovanrith.

He said the initiative exemplifies the potential of blockchain in enhancing openness and efficacy in financial transactions.

Sovanrith highlighted the technology’s importance in his speech, stating that it has emerged as a transformative force in various sectors, including e-government initiatives.

“The application of blockchain can significantly enhance transparency, efficiency and security in governmental processes,” he said.

He explained that blockchain’s decentralised ledger system ensures immutability and public accessibility of records, fostering trust among citizens by enabling them to verify government actions.

He said this transparency is crucial in areas such as land registration and public spending, reducing opportunities for fraud.

Additionally, Sovanrith pointed out other applications, such as the Ministry of Public Works and Transport’s use of QR codes for vehicle identification.

He said the system streamlines documentation and management processes, allowing citizens easy access to their vehicle information.

He added that the course will cover blockchain fundamentals, architecture and applications, emphasising how these can elevate service delivery and improve efficiency in public-sector organisations.

Acting director of NPCC and APO head for Cambodia Um Serivuth said, “We are delighted to host this event in our capital city, showcasing our rich culture and vibrant infrastructure post-pandemic.”

“This programme is not only about gaining knowledge from experts but also about fostering interactions among participants from APO member countries. Sharing best practices and experiences will be invaluable,” he added.

He said the training aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement blockchain solutions effectively in e-government projects.

By the end of the programme, participants are expected to have an enhanced understanding of blockchain technology and its practical applications in public services, ultimately contributing to more efficient and transparent governance, Serivuth said.

He noted that the APO supports non-profit organisations (NPOs) in promoting the initiative across all sectors in the country, aiming to reach the APO Vision 2025.

“Your partnership has been invaluable, and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to host this significant multi-country programme,” he said, adding that “together, we strive for a more productive and prosperous future.”

ALB’s What You Missed: The Week of June 4

SINGAPORE’S RHT TO EXPLORE BLOCKCHAIN TECH FOR SUPPLY CHAIN

Singapore law firm RHTLaw Taylor Wessing and professional services firm RHT Holdings have signed an MoU to jointly explore blockchain technology with Linfinity, the world’s first distributed supply chain platform based on blockchain, Internet of Things, and Big Data.

REED SMITH LAUNCHES REDESIGNED ASSOCIATE LIFE INITIATIVE

Reed Smith has launched a redesigned Associate Life initiative – a programme to prepare the firm’s early career lawyers for advancement, leadership roles, and long-term professional success. Among new features are a mobile app for ongoing performance feedback from more senior lawyers; an enhanced billable-hours “credit” policy for learning and development and for pro bono and innovation projects; a ramp-up hours policy following return from leaves of absence; and secondment opportunities within the Reed Smith global platform.

Reed Smith has also announced the roll-out of its 2018 Innovation Hours program, which recognizes up to 50 innovation hours towards billable-hour targets for fee earners. This follows a pilot that saw attorneys across the firm devoting hundreds of innovation hours to six projects last year.

JAPAN INTRODUCES PLEA BARGAINING SYSTEM FOR ORGANISED CRIME, BRIBERY CASES

Last week, Japan introduced a plea-bargaining system for organized crime and bribery cases, according to reports in local media. Under the system, prosecutors can now agree not to indict or to pursue lesser charges or lighter penalties if suspects or defendants provide evidence or depositions against alleged accomplices.

However, under the Japanese system defendants will not be rewarded with reduced sentences for pleading guilty, unlike plea bargaining in, for example, the United States. There are also concerns the new practice could encourage suspects or defendants to make false statements that lead to lapses in justice.

UK LAW FIRM KNIGHTS AIMING FOR LARGEST-EVER LAW FIRM FLOTATION

Knights, a UK law firm, is set to become the fifth law firm to list on the London Stock Exchange – and potentially the largest law firm flotation so far. The IPO is expected to value the business in excess of 100 million pounds ($133 million), outstripping Gateley, the first English firm to go public in 2015, which was valued at 100 million pounds when it floated.

The firm is expected to use the proceeds of the IPO to pay down its debt, for working capital and to provide a future financing option to back its expansion. The other three law firms to list on the LSE are Rosenblatt, Keystone and Gordon Dadds.
