00:00We know that we are from the land and area of Padang Merdeka,

00:15the building of Suta Merdeka,

00:18Padang Merdeka is not because of the center of reformation,

00:22I just want to tell you.

00:25When you arrive at Masjid Negara,

00:31Station Karatapi, and Kakosa,

00:35Kuala Lumpur's development must have a unique characteristic.

00:40It should not be considered as Mark Twain,

00:46if you look at Washington in the early years.

00:50Kuala Lumpur, impressive buildings, but culturally barren.

00:56And we don't want Kuala Lumpur to be a concrete jungle.

01:01Therefore, the green area,

01:04and what is called the area in front of Padang Merdeka,

01:10the building of Suta Merdeka,

01:12throughout it will be a heritage area.

01:17And this heritage, even though there are contributions from other people,

01:21the heritage in Malay land,

01:24which is still a Malay heritage,

01:27which must be placed in the image of the new development

01:31throughout the corridor of Baduyan Sebesamat.

01:38This is what is called the transformation of the economy of Bung Putra.

01:43I believe that the others can be announced,

01:47but I want to focus on the big things.

01:50So, we have seen that Kuala Lumpur is clean.

01:55The development of Bung Putra is not only about big buildings and big companies,

02:01including what is placed in Kuala Lumpur,

02:05we want all the stalls to be clean.

02:08Because 80% of the people go to the stalls and small restaurants.

02:14Those who go to the 5-star and 7-star restaurants,

02:18only 15% of the people.

02:20But sometimes, we put the 80% aside.

02:24Therefore, now I can see,

02:27Kuala Lumpur must change its face,

02:30giving priority to what is used by the people,

02:34including the stalls all over Kuala Lumpur.
