00:00The media statement that we will make is actually a continuation of what is being speculated

00:16outside the court about the absence of six seats of parliament in Kuala Kangsar, Labuan,

00:26Guah Musang, Jeli, Bukit Gantang, and Tanjung Karang.

00:31We have six seats in the parliament, and we have sent a written response to the Honourable

00:36Speaker, who explained himself why we support the work of the coalition and commend the leadership

00:46of His Honourable Dato' Sri Anwar bin Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia.

00:52No matter what, we want to say here that we are of the opinion that there will be no absence

01:01of seats of parliamentarians in our parliament area, because we do not leave a single party.

01:09We do not stop being members of a single party, but what happens is that we are removed from

01:18the party and our name is removed from the system of a single alliance.

01:24Therefore, this clearly proves that there are no elements of us, the six members of parliament,

01:30leaving a party or jumping to another party that can put us in the 49A group of three

01:41coalition embassies.

01:43We are of the opinion that there will be no absence of seats of parliamentarians in our

01:52parliament area, given that the transition of the coalition was only approved or enforced

02:00on 1 April 2024.

02:04We still believe that we are true members of parliament, we have never left a party

02:11that we joined, we were removed, and for that we are confident that we will remain as members

02:19of parliament and there will be no absence of seats of parliamentarians, God willing.

02:23The six of us are actually waiting, responding, and seeing.

02:31That is our position now.

02:35We are not allowed to meet the Speaker.

02:38There will be a lot of speculations.

02:43I just want to say here once again, this is not in this, but my personal view, I want

02:51you to ask, what caused the six of us to become opponents?

02:59Not us, we are competing to win and become a government.

03:04At that time, everyone knew that the Indonesian Government suggested a coalition between PH

03:12and PN to help the government for political stability and to restore the Malaysian economy

03:24that was in crisis at that time.

03:29But two party leaders decided to become opponents without consulting us, the members of parliament.

03:40We held that position for a year.

03:46We guarded the area without a decision.

03:48When people asked for medical assistance, we had to say that there was no decision.

03:52But we cannot say that there was no decision for five consecutive years.

03:59That is why I said earlier, this is not our choice to be opponents.

04:05This is the decision of the leaders that made us the victims of the situation.

04:09So we chose to go back to the right path, to support the government for the sake of

04:16the people who voted for us.

04:18Based on the statement, we are now members of parliament who are free to support the

04:25government.

04:27That has not changed.

04:31We hope that after this, there will be no more speculation.

04:35Because it is great, here and there, people are saying, tomorrow PRK, LUSA PRK, wait for

04:41the general speaker.

04:42If we say that we are interested in participating in any party, it must be after the end of

04:50the PRU15 term.

04:53By then, we decide.

04:57Mana nak pergi?
