00:00In the beginning, we have informed that there were also cases in the center of Rumah Amang
00:12where we have interviewed the witnesses, have taken statements, and the investigation paper as well
00:21We have also informed that today they will be brought to the AG office
00:26to get further instructions from the AG
00:32Other than Rumah Amang, is there any other Rumah Amang that has been reported?
00:40Yes, there is
00:42How many?
00:43In our radar
00:44In total, how many Rumah Amang have been reported?
00:48More than 30
00:50I don't want to give a figure
00:52If I give a figure, I won't be able to do it
00:56Everything will be closed
00:58Mr. Tan Sri, are there any calls from the executive board of JISD?
01:07God willing
01:09We are indeed heading towards that
01:11Our investigation is indeed heading towards that
01:13Mr. Tan Sri, you said that there was a discussion before this
01:18but you didn't mention which side of the discussion it was
01:22So, maybe the Rumah Amang that were out there
01:25were the ones who were involved in this matter
01:28I wasn't there, and Dato' Sri wasn't there
01:31So, we don't know
01:33We don't know who they were talking to
01:35Will they be called?
01:37Yes, they will be called
01:38We will investigate that later
01:40with whoever they were talking to
01:44or making a collaboration
01:50What is it?
01:52We have a track draft
01:54We can't ask all of them
01:56Mr. Tan Sri, is there a fire in Kedah?
01:58The three areas in Kedah
02:00In Kedah?
02:02Yes, in Kedah, 15 Mladen, KPI, and 7 other areas in Kedah
02:05There are a lot of areas that we suspect
02:07and we will take action
02:09maybe
02:11to save the children
02:13Mr. Tan Sri, among the suspects
02:15the suspects that were detained
02:17they are all caretakers
02:19and
02:21It's like this
02:23I have to explain
02:25The system in BISB
02:27has a caretaker for the children
02:29This caretaker is
02:31a 17-year-old woman who lives in that building
02:33The older sister is a 17-year-old man
02:37Then, this center
02:39This center
02:41is taken care of by
02:43an older brother or sister
02:45In
02:47I will give an example
02:49In Selangor, there are 20
02:51There are 20
02:53centers
02:557 centers
02:57will be counted as one
02:597
03:01This is maybe the 2nd zone
03:03In this 1st and 2nd zone, there is a caretaker
03:05Mr. Tan Sri, in the social media
03:07like Mr. Zam Yahya said
03:09that these people bring politics
03:11because they have
03:13Mr. Zam Yahya said anything
03:15it's okay
03:17because he is not investigating
03:19My side is investigating
03:21we take clarification from what we have
03:23I said earlier
03:25we are not
03:27If we investigate one person and we lie
03:29the agency will not lie
03:33Do they want to lie?
03:35They can't
03:37That's why I said
03:39we investigate what we get
03:41what the Ministry of Health gets
03:43JKM gets
03:45JAKIM gets
03:47Education gets
03:49That's what we reveal today
03:51In the first phase, when we did the investigation
03:53in this building, only 2 registered
03:55out of 20
03:57This is a mistake
03:59or a request
04:01for approval
04:03if this building is needed
04:05to the Ministry of Social Welfare
04:09So if the country
04:11has issued an approval
04:13it means that it is waived
04:15from the Ministry of Social Welfare
04:17So could it be a cause of the lack of
04:19clarification?
04:21That's one mistake
04:23That's what I said
04:25We also
04:27mislead the other parties
