00:00I know that there are many people who are angry, especially the elite above,

00:09about the passage I gave completely to the SPRM and the pressure to all enforcement agencies

00:19and of course the KSN and so on, to ensure that we avoid leaks.

00:25Whatever people say about the government today, one thing I insist on is that we do not tolerate any excesses.

00:33Tenders must be done, no more negotiated tenders.

00:38If you have found any member of the cabinet, anybody, with any interest, he will be automatically sacked.

00:45That is clear. And all parties seem to agree.

00:49Let the SPRM take responsibility.

00:54But also our mentality, because the issue of morals and values goes back,

00:58even though it is clear that Islam is a mouthful,

01:01but when we take action against corruption, take action against Global Ikhwan,

01:07based on values and morals, it is opposed,

01:13including those who talk about this matter. And this is our problem.

01:17As for me, Alhamdulillah, God has given me health, I am vitamin, I will not concede.

01:24If that is a compromise, there is no point for me to be Prime Minister.

01:28The leaders must set a good example, from the point of view of cleaning up this country

01:34from corruption, plundering or plundering the wealth of the country.

01:39People attack this as a political agenda, I don't care.

01:44But if you ask the SPRM, PDRM, Commercial Crime, or KSN, I am consistent.

01:53I ask and the Cabinet, together with me today,

01:58we want to save the initial mission with good governance.

02:04If the governance is broken, there is no point in these changes.

02:08You can talk about economic reform, but what economic reform?

02:12If you steal 20 billion, it will come out.

02:14If someone retires as a minister, there is a wealth of 4 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion.

02:21Then what is going to happen to this country?

02:23What is wrong with our society?

02:26What happens to our intellectuals and our elites?

02:29And why do they become the scapegoat of groups like this?

02:34Sometimes it's their responsibility, sometimes it's their rank, sometimes it's their wealth.

02:38See, I have warmed up a bit.

02:41No, it's true, because I said it from passion.

02:43Hadith al-qalbat bil-qalbat.

02:48This is from heart to heart.

02:50Because if not, then not.

02:51That's why in this Madani,

02:53whether it's good or bad, there must be goodness and there must be confidence.

03:01And hopefully we can apply this.

03:05I don't know how, but every opportunity I have as a public official and political leader,

03:11I emphasize this.

03:13And if we're lucky, whatever is being said or perceived outside,

03:18me and the team,

03:21whether it's Mr. Zahid, the leader of UMNO, the minister of UMNO,

03:27or Mr. Fadhilah, GPS,

03:30and we're in PHD, AP, AMAL.

03:33Up until now, almost two years,

03:36in the next month, two years,

03:38there hasn't been a single minister or leader

03:44who has contradicted our decision.

03:47For example, there must be a tender.

03:49There must be accountability.

03:50Don't let it leak out.

03:52And recently, I hosted an agency, a government agency,

03:57a company and a ministry, staff,

03:59sent 68 people to the Pesta Exhibition in Berlin.

04:04I got the full support of the cabinet.

04:06And they took up and stopped.

04:08Which means, above us.

04:10If the minister wants to go out,

04:11this is the first time in history,

04:13when our prime minister said,

04:15if you want to go, you don't have to go.

04:18You can wait for other opportunities.

04:20Never happened before.

04:22Why do I do it?

04:23Not that I'm strong or politically strong,

04:26because my colleagues,

04:28my right hand, Zahid, left hand, Fadhilah,

04:31gave full support based on this evidence.

04:36So, if the minister wants to go,

04:38how many staff?

04:39Three? No, two is enough.

04:41We control that.

04:43But when my agency is below,

04:4520.

04:47To go to a meeting, eight.

04:49We have to stop this.

04:50So, you see, they use these changes,

04:53it must be absorbed.

04:54It takes time to go down.

04:55If it's the first six months,

04:57maybe I won't dare.

04:59I smell it.

05:00It's a new invention.

05:02Now, I think we can.

05:04Faizah azamtah, fatawakalallah.

05:07InshaAllah, we can continue that.
