Aircraft
At the final approach course 25R; when I have landed touched down on the Runway 25R; I reduced my power to idle; retracted flaps; normal brake and back pressure on the yoke to show down the aircraft. Once I have slowed down the aircraft; I turned right to Taxiway Delta to exit the Runway 25R; I stepped on right rudder and applied normal brake so the plane could turn right. The plane did initially turned to the right; but at that particular moment the brake was not function well as well as the plane did not turn; the aircraft did not either stop or turn;  therefore the plane went off the taxiway 45 degrees hit the taxi light and destination sign; causing propeller strike and left wing damaged.
A PA-28 brake system malfunctioned after landing preventing the pilot from steering or stopping so he exited the Runway at a 45 degree angle hitting a taxi light and an airport sign; this caused propeller and left wing damage.
