00:00If you were to vote in front of the coach, what would you say to them so that they can vote for you?

00:12I will tell them to vote for me.

00:16I will say, God willing, if there is a problem, God willing, I will help.

00:24God willing, if I am elected, God willing, I will help.

00:34Because when I was young, I was a difficult person.

00:38I was forced to help myself.

00:40When I was young, I wanted to help the community.

00:43What I could do was to help.

00:45That was my dream.

00:47To help young people.

00:49Like when I was in school.

00:51I was good at football, but I didn't have a boot.

00:54My school boots were black and white.

00:58When I was in high school, my teacher bought me a boot.

01:02When I was in middle school, my teacher gave me a racket.

01:04I was a poor person.

01:06I wanted to help young people.

01:09This is when I helped young people.

01:11Coach, from the point of view of young people in the city,

01:15do you think we should give more opportunities to young people

01:19so that they don't have to leave their hometowns?

01:22I see a lot of young people leaving their hometowns.

01:25Some work in Java, some work in Singapore.

01:27Because they don't have a job.

01:29This is a problem.

01:31I don't know for sure.

01:33But there are a lot of young people who have left their hometowns.

01:36There are a lot of people who work in Singapore.

01:38There are a lot of people who work in Singapore.

01:40A lot of young people don't even want to get a job.

01:43I feel sorry for them.

01:45Maybe they just want to get a little bit of money.

01:48There are a lot of young people who have degrees.

01:52Some of them bring their own rackets.

01:54So how can we help them?

01:56I will do whatever I can.

01:58I will help as much as I can.

02:01I can't just throw it away.

02:03When young people see me,

02:05they ask me to help them.

02:07I say, God willing, I will help them.

02:09Some will help, some won't.

02:11That's how I take care of myself.
