The MP said he secured a rental unit for Mdm Chong last year. However, due to personal reasons, she did not like the unit.

Would it be better if "for personal reasons" replaces "due to personal reasons", as "due to" implies "because", so it seems redundant?

Did you write the original sentence?

kohyoongliat · Apr 12, 2023

No. I changed some of the words. Is it ok to quote the original sentence? I was afraid it is not proper.

However she didn't the like the unit [for certain reasons].

I find it odd to say "personal reasons". Her reasons for not liking it were very likely personal. You'd normally use the term "personal reasons" in a different context.

You can quote the original sentence as long as you tell us the author and the source.

In a word, no. (You could also say, "because of personal reasons".)

However, due to personal reasons, she did not like the unit.
