Congratulations to the Nation Group for getting so rich. Getting rich is a lofty ideal praised by saints, sages and moral philosophers throughout history as the summum bonum of human life. As Deng Xiaoping famously remarked, “To get rich is glorious.” Thai folklore echoes this noble sentiment in the popular proverb “Money is God” (“Ngern kheu Prajao”).
May we now expect The Nation to share the joy with its legions of loyal subscribers by reducing its subscription rates?
