\n\u201cBeing selected as the first-ever Real Estate Personality of the Year in Cambodia is one of the most important moments in my business adventure,\u201d he said. \u201cI have always been passionate in bringing refreshing concepts and vibrancy to the property market in Cambodia\u2026 being recognised in the industry is an extraordinary moment.\u201d
