This way, the gate which allows staffs into the premises was shut, forcing them to park their car outside.
Their demands could be seen hanging from the canopies, which includes:

“3. Pay us our palliative.”
The retirees had dragged a similar protest in December, 2024, where they demanded for their full entitlement, but the Federal government ended up paying them 59%, with promises to pay the rest.
