A comment in response to the protest by retired military personnel at the Ministry of Finance suggested, “They should arrest them with serving military now, so let us know the score.” This remark not only Jokes about the concerns of the retirees but also dangerously promotes the idea of forceful suppression. Instead of focusing on criminalizing peaceful protests, the government should prioritize addressing the retirees’ grievances. Public protests are an important aspect of a healthy democracy, allowing citizens to hold authorities accountable.
