A 57-year-old cheat caught sitting a civil service examination on behalf of a younger job seeker tried to explain away the difference in their looks by saying chemotherapy made him appear older.
Teerapat Kachamat, director-general of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, said a man aged 57 was arrested for pretending to be a 28-year-old man registered to sit the entrance exam for a position at the department, at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University in Dusit district, Bangkok, on Saturday.
