The initiative was led by Royal Group Chairman Neak Oknha Kith Meng in full cooperation with both Ministries . Watson says : “ the Chairman of the company is Cambodian and his mantra is to support the digitalisation of Cambodia with the Royal Government . Cellcard will be the leading 5G digital network and will drive that vision .”
