- Comment: Refs should be expanded and not just be bare URLs, according to this guide for referencing. This would be useful to do because many of these sources do not discuss the subject. The mcia.org About page (ref #1), and the ubingo.my Home page (ref #9), are not reliable sources and should not be references. Neither are podcasts (refs #4 and 5). There does not seem to be any secondary, independent coverage of the subject at this time, as most of these articles are connected to Koh.Additionally, the article needs to be worded in a neutral point of view. "...laying the foundation for his successful career in travel and entrepreneurship" is not a neutral statement, and is also unreferenced. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:45, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
