Cambodia News, (Sihanoukville): On the occasion of checking the infrastructure in the city and the beach area, His Excellency Kouch Chamreon, the governor of Sihanoukville, has ordered the installation of signs to be placed in the beach and picnic areas, saying ′′ Don't throw away trash ′' or "No littering".

He said that his officials will now fine anyone found throwing away rubbish, with penalties ranging from 20 thousand riels to four hundred thousand riels.

400, 000 riel !!
only?

Make them pick up rubbish from the beach themselves, in full view, for a day or two.
That'll stop the Khmers anyway - they would never in a million years want be seen doing that.

Or publicly flog them on the beach.
(that'll be a big hit with both the Ch and Kh tourists, for sure)

Should work about as well as helmet laws.

When you talk about making a law it would always be a good idea to discuss whether or not it is a practicle one.
Will it achieve the required result?
How will it be enforced?
what will be the cost to enforce the law?
Who will be the target of the law?

Somebody should quote Darrel Kerrigan and "Tell them they are dreaming"

Why, litterers, of course! I'm sure no other demographic will be singled out.

Yeah, you nailed it. But hey maybe dumping is separate and still all good.

If they do enforce it, they could become rich beyond their wildest dreams

I doubt many Cambodians know what a bin is actually for, it is by far the filthiest litter strewn country I have ever been to
