00:00 This media conference is called after the meeting of the Executive Board of the Young Party.

00:07 We all know the decision of Yairif Hakim in the High Court this morning.

00:14 And as I promised, I will hold a meeting of the Young JCP,

00:20 where we discuss the President's Office and the President's Institution.

00:29 I want to inform you that when the young people are founded,

00:32 they want to bring in new politics.

00:35 A politics that embraces the individual's personality and interest.

00:42 A politics that elevates, a politics that is honorable and has integrity.

00:48 Therefore, the office of the President or the President's Institution needs to be whiter than white.

00:59 Whoever is in charge of the President's Office needs to be whiter than white

01:04 because the responsibility is quite extraordinary.

01:08 And no one, including myself, is greater than the party that is founded

01:14 by all of us and the Malaysians with their support.

01:19 Therefore, in the brief meeting just now, after discussing together,

01:26 we have decided that I will hold my position as President of the Young Party

01:40 with the participation of the MPs, while I am cleaning my name through the court process.

01:51 The office of the President will be held by the Young President's Institution,

01:59 respected Amir Aisyah, on my right, and will be held by her.

02:05 As good as the meeting ended, I will not involve myself and will not be involved

02:13 in any decision of the Young Party and is closely related to the future of the Young Party.

02:23 However, I will still support this party as a member

02:29 and will continue to work with other members to realise their dreams

02:36 to build a prosperous, dignified and integrated Malaysia.

02:41 But in terms of holding the office of Presidency,

02:45 after the decision was delivered in the High Court just now, I no longer deserve the role

02:50 because that role requires someone who is whiter than white.
