Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said he does not know whether there was any government involvement in this matter. Launched on 21 April 2016, Khai Maew, translated literally as cat balls, managed to secure more than 100,000 likes and followers within two months. The Khai Maew cartoon illustrated with this article was published on Dec 13, 2016 and it drew 19,997 reactions and 564 comments, not including replies to comments. The Khai Maew cartoonist admitted that quite a few of his drawings were reported and some of them were as a result removed by Facebook. The Khai Maew cartoons, he said, may represent what someone has in mind but dares not speak out.
