Prince Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Prince Holding Group (“Prince Group”), one of Cambodia’s largest and fastest-growing conglomerates, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Cambodia Investment Review (CIR), a promising media platform dedicated to investment news in Cambodia. The organizations will jointly develop the ‘Prince Foundation Young Business Journalist Program’ that will support two outstanding Cambodian media & communications students studying at the Royal University of Phnom Penh.
Both institutions strongly believe in the importance of capacity building in the media sector which, in turn, can help better explain Cambodia’s business potential and improve it as an investment destination. The selected students, Sam Oudom and Pang Socheneath, will undergo paid internships with in-house training and real-world newsroom opportunities. By supporting the professional growth of talented Cambodian journalists, Prince Foundation hopes to aid the heathy development of the business media and communications sector.
“This initiative gives us a fantastic opportunity to help develop Cambodia’s up-and-coming business journalists,” said Harrison White, CEO of Cambodia Investment Review. “I thank the Prince Foundation for its ongoing commitment to elevating education in Cambodia and believing in our mission as a local institution living up to international standards.”
“At Prince Group, we are always excited about new ventures and Cambodia Investment Review has demonstrated itself in a year as a valuable addition to Cambodia’s media landscape,” says Gabriel Tan, Chief Communications Officer, Prince Holding Group. “By supporting this scholarship programme, we believe that two vital yet underappreciated sectors – media and communications – will get a boost. Further, we believe the scholarship recipients will go on to become strong educators in their own right as journalism and communication professionals.”
The partnership continues Prince Foundation’s drive to help develop Cambodia’s educational initiatives in line with the broader Group’s focus on building a better life in Cambodia. Prince Foundation has been actively involved in elevating the education sector over the past year and has unveiled a substantive scholarship program, supported a novel watchmaking school, ensured safe re-opening of schools in Cambodia and contributed to a programme that helps underprivileged high school students plan for their careers.

Representatives from United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) Cambodia recently observed a class at Prince Horology, Phnom Penh’s first and only Swiss watchmaking school. The class tour was led by Swiss-trained instructor Ms. Jessica Thakur.
Navy Kouch, CEO of LDI Enterprise Ltd, toured the classrooms of Phnom Penh’s first and only Swiss watchmaking school, Prince Horology. A devoted mother and a successful business owner, Navy operates 21 watch outlets in Phnom Penh and provinces under the TIMECITY brand.
“I was certainly amazed to see the commitment by Prince Group towards watchmaking who have brought in impressive equipment from Switzerland and Germany to develop local talent. It was also a pleasure to have Ms. Jessica Thakur, the resident Swiss-trained instructor, as my tour guide at the school. Cambodia is clearly at the dawn of a new era for vocational education as crafts like watchmaking are now taught at local schools like Prince Horology,” said Navy.
TIMECITY is the authorised reseller for Tissot, MIDO, Casio, CITIZEN, and Orient watches in the country.
“Prince Horology is one of our key initiatives to accelerate local talent development and we are pleased to showcase the school’s advanced infrastructure and comprehensive curriculum that are based on Swiss standards,” said Gabriel Tan, Chief Communications Office at Prince Holding Group. “We are glad that Ms. Navy could visit Prince Horology as we all play our respective part to instil confidence and passion within the local watch community,” he added.
Prince Holding Group, Chairman Chen Zhi through its charitable arm Prince Foundation, has been supporting Prince Horology since its inception.
