    The document summarizes a Burmese cartoon about a jobless man who is struggling to find work. Frustrated that many jobs are now held by women, including politicians, lawyers and office roles, the man shouts a battle cry that if women take men's jobs, he will take theirs.

    Cartoon U Ba Gyan’s
    “Jobless youth’s battle cry”
    I hereby translated the Burmese Cartoon for the benefit of

    Malaysian men from MTUC .....

    Once upon a time, a jobless man was


    trying very hard in searching a job.....
    He found out that there are women MPs,
    women lawyers, lady officers.....

    Female head of the office,


    women head clerk, female clerks.....
    Female manager and lady office workers.....

    He shouted a battle cry,


    “If they rob the men’s jobs, I will also
    rob back their works.....”
    So he wore the ladies Htamee (sarong)
    and while selling Apong snack food
    (Burmanized Indian Apang) at the roadside
    babysitting at the same time.
