00:00 The PM's meeting today has passed the basis for forming an Act for the Malaysia Media Council.

00:11 This is important because historically, the basis for forming an Act,

00:20 the drafting of the Act for the Malaysia Media Council, was introduced in 2019.

00:25 However, due to the government's changes,

00:31 and after the formation of the 15th Parliament and the current Madani government,

00:37 we need to have a review of some basic matters.

00:41 The PM's meeting has passed today.

00:45 The next step is to bring the draft of the Act to the PM's office.

00:55 We expect that, if there is no objection,

01:00 this draft will be approved and brought to the Parliament in mid-June.

01:07 It will take time due to a number of discussions, sessions on the governance, on the responsibility of the Pro Tem,

01:15 which have been completed and we have reached this stage.

01:22 So, God willing, the drafting can be carried out after the draft of the Act is approved in the Parliament.

01:31 Thank you.
