Phnom Penh City Hall Issues Deadline on Signboard Language

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Does anyone have any examples of western businesses that are flouting this law in PP?
There are different requirements to be met. Khmer letters must not only be on the sign but they must be larger than others. Signs may also not portray whatever they like, like Double D Bar learned when they were firmly told to remove a pair of titties from its signage a couple of years ago. I think that particular business is Khmer owned though.
