00:00 "The 6 countries involved in the PRN, Alhamdulillah, the process of recruitment, in the recruitment centre, 173 have gone smoothly,

00:16 which gave the owners 245 places to go smoothly, Alhamdulillah. When it went smoothly, there were no incidents that happened.

00:30 I can conclude here that the maturity of the candidates and supporters in the process of recruiting candidates can run smoothly,

00:39 and the police also thank all the supporters of the parties that were present this morning, which started at 9am.

00:50 For the police, we have appointed 17,130 members of the PDRM, who are on duty on the ground, with the help of 572 members of the committee,

01:10 Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, they were able to help us. And we have also, the CID, launched, moved the recruitment teams,

01:22 a total of 82 recruitment teams, a total of 1,459 officers and members involved, to monitor the process of recruiting candidates today.

01:36 The recruitment team has started, in Kelantan, in the middle of May, and for the other 5 countries, it started on 29 June,

01:51 with a total of over 400 people. When the recruitment process ended at 11am, and the proceedings started tonight,

02:04 or tomorrow, I remind the candidates and representatives, any speeches or campaigns that have not been made, to request for a permit.

02:14 Including, if you do not make a walkabout, you must inform the police, so that this walkabout does not collide with other candidates to make a walkabout.

02:29 So we do not want things to happen that are not wanted, or things that violate the rules and laws that are in force now.

02:40 In addition to that, I also need to remind here, that in these speeches, sensitive issues and also issues involving the three R's,

02:52 so that they are not touched, which can cause anger, and cause trouble.

03:01 I also request to all parties involved, to ensure the safety of the parties competing in these 6 countries,

03:15 to cooperate with the three R's, and also to determine, and be responsible in avoiding provocations,

03:28 and also to control the supporters involved in the incidents that are not wanted.

03:35 Thank you.
