After that, there was a man who spoke to the residents who were suspected of protesting. The man in striped shirt mentioned that out of hundreds of families in the area, none of them protested against the action of the mobile sahur wake-up call.

"Besides, no one here complains, 250 households, there are also sick people here, there's a baby here," said the man. The argument continued, suddenly the young man in a black shirt reappeared and invited the protesting residents to fight. "Let's just fight with me," he said.

"Until finally, a pushing action occurred. It was seen that several residents tried to intervene and restrain a young man wearing a black shirt to prevent a brawl from happening. 'If you're not comfortable here, then move,' said one man, greeted by other residents."
