There was that law, or perhaps even that law still exists. But less and less buisnesses are abiding by it. Check out the signage of most new businesses and they're mainly in only English nowadays.vladimir wrote:There is a law in Cambodia which requires that Khmer script be at the top and all others below.
I have only seen this contravened twice on official signage, once when the Vietnamese chief came here, and this time, when the writing is in Chinese and no Khmer is visible.
I guess if they own the country...

Yes, but I was actually referring to signage done by the Khmer government/municipality itself.Rama wrote:There was that law, or perhaps even that law still exists.

Can't translate as I don't speak chinese but I went into SHV harbor custom warehouse when the first trucks arrived from china about 6 years ago. I was told they were a gift from china.Rama wrote:Understood Vladimir. Sorry.
Re the fire trucks: they're donated from China, so either a)it's the old markings or b)it reads "donated by the People's Republic of China" ?
