Other videos from Thai netizens have also gained widespread attention.

Some clips show individuals covering their eyes, mouths, and ears with banknotes believed to symbolise allegations that certain parties are being paid to cover up the case. While this remains speculative, the symbolism has sparked conversations among local netizens.

These videos have since caught the attention of Malaysians, many of whom have expressed gratitude in the comments, thanking their Thai neighbours for their support.

The comment sections have also seen participation from netizens in Brunei and Indonesia, who have similarly shown solidarity with the case.
