00:00The purpose of Majlis Tinggi is to find a consensus on who is qualified to take on the important and necessary responsibilities.

00:20That is why I revealed a secret earlier.

00:24I saw a lot of people were waiting.

00:27The media has also made a lot of statements.

00:30I thought I would inform you earlier about the process of my nomination

00:35with the remaining presidents, Dato' Peja, Dato' Hamzah, and Dato' Azmin.

00:41Actually, none of them are involved.

00:43And the others here in front are all involved.

00:46And from that, I got an insight that Dato' Peja is ready to step back

00:59and nominate himself as the Vice-President.

01:03Coincidentally, there are only two Vice-Presidents in this list.

01:08One is empty and not included.

01:10Even though it is settled, the other members may be invited.

01:15But this is one of the formulas that I used to determine

01:21to acknowledge Dato' Peja's contribution as a party's founder

01:27who is still young and energetic.

01:31But he is willing to let go of that position and not compete with Timbalan

01:38because it gives Dato' Hamzah a chance

01:42to take up the role of Timbalan's President.

01:47This is based on his recognition of the role of Seluksagung,

01:53the Seluksagung of the National Assembly.

01:56It is not less important that he is the head of the opposition

02:01of the National Assembly in the parliament,

02:04which has a lot of influence, close ties with other party components

02:09such as PAS.

02:11All of these are taken into account.

02:13So I think I have no obstacle for Dato' Hamzah to lead as Timbalan

02:20and help me.

02:22I did not mention the position of Vice-President earlier.

02:26I want to mention it here.

02:28I will nominate Dato' Azmin as Seluksagung.

02:35Seluksagung in the National Assembly,

02:40to Dato' Azmin,

02:41I think he is an important figure,

02:45capable of carrying out the duties of the head of the opposition

02:49and has a lot of political experience.

02:52That is the position.

02:56The other positions I will complete later.

03:00But this is to complete the first position.

03:05And that is the position of the Vice-President.

03:08I understand both of the Vice-Presidents,

03:10the incumbent will maintain it.

03:12I have no problem with it.

03:14And I also have no problem with other party members

03:18who also nominated themselves.

03:20It's just that in this position,

03:22there may be further steps if it can be considered.

03:26I do not say it is possible.

03:29If they are still eager to compete,

03:32it is their right.

03:34But to give a little hope,

03:40so that all positions can be arranged earlier,

03:46so that the temperature of the campaign is not too hot.
