New citizens by royal decree
So is this guy wealthy? What’s in it for Cambodia to grant citizenship by Royal Decree to this man?

He and his family were granted Citizenship for their contributions to Cambodia, nothing to do whether he is wealthy or not. There was a lot of conflict between local villagers and him, which you can read about in past media articles, this obviously helped highlight him and his contributions and most likely why he was granted citizenship.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

Yes I read that. Just wondered if there was more to it

He is a good man, in a dangerous situation, doing good things. Pretty sure they didn't pay for it. Ben's citizenship is well earned.
