While Gombak will serve as the main location for its RCE activities, the area of coverage will bridge the existing RCE Central Semenanjung to that of RCE Iskandar. The unique scope of RCE Greater Gombak is that it serves as a conduit for the three RCEs towards a new model of collaboration among RCES – tripartitie RCE collaboration model.
