Sihanoukville: Locals Criticize the Monolingual Banners
Sihanoukville dwellers, local tourists and civil servants criticize the local authority in Sihanoukville who allowed the businessman and other foreign club and bar owners to put only English language on their banner.
They said, this doesn’t follow the declaration of ministry of culture and art and also the law of the country.

Agreed with the complaint. Technically, it is also illegal to have your ad at the back of tuktuks completely in a foreign language, but most are ok with it.

Not sure why anyone cares... it's not like locals are out looking for Scuba tours or bungalows...

It is a matter of obeying and respecting your host country's law where you are operating your business at. I never seen business signs/banners in Thailand are in a completely in a foreign language. Albeit, the last time I was there was 6-7 years ago. What a shit logic Grinch.

Clearly this particular law doesn't matter, so why follow it?flying chicken wrote:It is a matter of obeying and respecting your host country's law where you are operating your business at.

Sure, because we're in a country where strict adherence to the law is important? Where people pay their taxes? That kind of thing?flying chicken wrote:It is a matter of obeying and respecting your host country's law where you are operating your business at.

Why enforce pointless laws (like the language of a sign) and ignore the ones that matter. And as for logic, I'll take my advice from someone who doesn't beat their wife. Perhaps, you should spend less time worrying about my logic and more time in jail/counseling?

Re: Sihanoukville: Locals Criticize the Monolingual Banners
I am corresponding with the local complaints -- I am sure many other Khmers and ethnic Khmers like myself share the same view as well. I am sure no one going to tear down their banners apart from those with authorities, I envisage it will be inevitable. The majority of foreign and local businesses in Siem Reap already taken precaution even when having Khmer characters filling and clogging their banners. And as far as I know, the banner in Russian could "Grinch's Handjob Palace."
In term of taxes -- in the last 4 work place I worked at both locals and foreigners paid their taxes according to the Cambodian taxation law.
I am not giving your ragged head advice but I appreciate your concern about my family though.

Seriously? You're giving advice on language after that impenetrable rant? When you get out of jail, it's time to go to school too, old boy.flying chicken wrote:I am corresponding with the local complaints -- I am sure many other Khmers and ethnic Khmers like myself share the same view as well.
