Job for Duang - Kajor Ngorngae by Mor, Krungtepturakit,
April 24, 2008
Left: Chalerm says: Don't worry, if my son,
Duang, is back in the military, I will tell him to polish the big
guns in front of the Defense Ministry.
Middle: The reporter says: Do you think that
job is suitable for your son? It is like beneath his knowledge and
capabilities.
Chalerm says: So what is the suitable job for him?
Right: The reporter says: Quelling the
southern unrest.
[Powerful politician Chalerm's son Duang was reinstated into the
military recently. He was earlier stripped of his position after refusing to
turn himself over the the police over alleged involvement in the
shooting death of a police officer in a nightclub. The cartoon reflects
many of the urban elites' view of the spoiled Chalerm boys by
suggesting they be sent to the dangerous South. An earlier cartoon
about the Chalerm boys is here.]
