“It’s interesting how my influence bothers you this much. Clearly, I’m impactful enough to command your time and attention,” he said.
Medikal further argued that the netizen should not project personal frustrations onto the government, stressing that not every challenge in life is the fault of the authorities.
“Don’t project personal frustrations onto leadership; not everything wrong in your life is the government’s fault. Step up or shut the hell up,” he added.
