Mong Reththy talks - A Cambodian tycoon reflects on Cambodia's past and his amazing career

Okhna Mong Reththy is one of Cambodia’s best-known entrepreneurs. Cambodian film students from Meta House interview him about his youth under Pol Pot and how the former porter at the Phnom Penh port overcame all obstacles to become a business leader.
លោក ម៉ុង ឫទ្ធី
លោកឧកញ៉ា ម៉ុង ឫទ្ធី គឺជាសហគ្រិនដ៏ល្បីមួយរូបរបស់កម្ពុជា។ និស្សិតភាពយន្តខ្មែរមកពី ផ្ទះមេតា (Meta House) សម្ភាអំពីភាពជាយុវជនរបស់គាត់ក្រោមរបប ប៉ុល ពត និងរបៀបដែលអតីតអ្នកជញ្ជូនអីវ៉ាន់នៅកំពង់ផែភ្នំពេញម្នាក់នេះបានពុះពារគ្រប់ឧបសគ្គដើម្បីក្លាយខ្លួនជាអ្នកដឹកនាំអាជីវកម្មមួយរូប។
Mong Reththy is one of Cam­bodia’s best-known big businessmen and head of the Mong Reththy Group Co Ltd, which has an extensive portfolio of interests, including large sugar cane, palm oil and acacia plantations, the import-export business and construction. "I had little education. In 1979, I became a porter at the Phnom Penh port. Then in 1980, I started working for the Central Council [the People’s Republic of Kampuchea equivalent of today’s Council of Ministers] as a construction worker. I helped build the park in front of the Royal Palace. This was the first success for me, and I built up from there."

Respect your speech

[@shantrala6609]

Young generations need to be taught about their histories. Doesn't matter if they want to listen or not still need to be taught. This shouldn't be a choice. If you don't know your history, you'll always go backward. You don't want history to repeat itself. That's why the young generations should sit down and listen. Because I lived through it, experienced it, I was a young kid when Pol pot and the Khmer rouge took over. The government in charge right now is so bad and corrupted. They are destroying this beautiful country.
