“Cellcard has gone far from when it started back in 1997. As we celebrate its silver anniversary, we celebrate its achievements over all its twenty-five (25) years; a long list of milestones, but also we celebrate everyone who has been part of that journey, led by the visionary leadership of our chairman, Neak Okhna Kith Meng. Cellcard was market leader for 11 years since it was established and it will be again. The brands commitment to providing “connectivity for all” remains a constant, and on the back of that, Cellcard’s history of firsts continues and will continue for many more years to come as we go beyond connecting people to nurturing the digital lifestyles of our customers and preparing students, families, communities, as well as businesses for the digital future.” – Cellcard CEO, Simon Perkins.
