Translated from Khmer by Socheata

Under the directive from Kep Chuktema, Phnom penh city governor, the public park service of the department of public work and transportation of the city of Phnom Penh installed 40 signs in various major city parks. The signs were installed because in the past, dog owners brought their pets to play at the park and they destroy the parks by defecating there. Park visitors, which include tourists and people who came to exercise, detest the parks and the dogs caused damage to both the grass and the flower beds. As a first step, the signs are installed at the park near the Monument of Independence, along Hun Sen park, along the park located in front of the Royal Palace, and the park in front of Wat Phnom.
