00:00
We have three categories, we have sewers, we have coals, and we have peritoneum.
00:15
Coals and peritoneum, we use them for high-end meals, especially the peritoneum.
00:21
We ask them if they have a house.
00:24
If they have a house, what do we do?
00:27
If they don't have a house, they will accuse us of having a hotel.
00:30
We are all liars.
00:32
We tell them, if you buy a house, it will last for at least 10 years.
00:38
Why?
00:39
If you buy and sell it, you are just accelerating the market price.
00:44
You and I can't buy a house.
00:49
10 years, we say you can't sell it.
00:56
You can.
00:57
For example, you buy a house for Rp. 500,000.
01:01
Tomorrow, you want to sell this house.
01:03
You buy another house for Rp. 550,000.
01:06
You can.
01:07
Or if you feel that this house is not beautiful,
01:11
you can sell it for Rp. 500,000.
01:15
You can.
01:16
Provided you have another agreement.
01:18
For example, we have MA2H.
01:21
We have the lower side, but it can only last for an hour.
01:27
You cannot do others.
01:28
Maybe the co-side, we try to look at it.
01:31
If necessary, we will bring it to the Cabinet for some adjustment.
01:38
What is the role of MN2H in Malaysia?
01:42
In politics, everyone wants to sabotage.
01:47
Everyone wants to reverse the story.
01:49
That's why they make complications.
01:51
If we say that MN2H is not good, Thailand doesn't have MN2H.
01:57
It's just a different name.
01:59
Indonesia doesn't have it.
02:02
Vietnam doesn't have it.
02:04
Singapore doesn't have it.
02:05
We don't have to be too worried about the people coming to stay in Malaysia.
02:14
As long as they are disciplined, they are safe,
02:20
they stay, spend the money, we are welcome to help our economy grow.
02:25
What is the role of MN2H in Malaysia?
02:28
At least if you want a business, you must meet certain criteria.
02:33
I look at the account, I know it's a scam.
02:36
So that means you make out the account.
02:38
So that means you are playing a donkey's job.
02:40
Tomorrow, if you go to the marketing department, you are actually scamming people.
02:44
I cancelled the license.
02:46
If they are overcharged, I will not release the company.
02:50
I will release the director also.
02:52
They cannot repeat things all day because the Malaysian name is tarnished.
02:56
What is the role of MN2H in Malaysia?
03:01
I don't know how it is, but we already sent a WhatsApp message.
03:04
I think they made some adjustments, but I don't know what the final term is.
03:07
They haven't come to us yet, we don't know.
03:10
We encourage them to stay longer.
03:14
It's better for us, for our economy to accelerate, for our economy to grow.
03:18
Anywhere in the country, they are promoting in that way.
03:21
In Dubai also, they are the MN2H.
03:24
They also encourage people to stay and to hang out there.
