Gratified to have obtained 2 awards in the tournament, Kammy Cheong from the hotel operation department of Galaxy Macau™ said, “These awards do not only belong to one person, but also to everyone from the team who shares the same goal and is always there for one another throughout the tournament.” She hoped that the GEG team could win more awards in the future.
