00:00We have monitored several polling stations this morning.

00:11Alhamdulillah, everything is going well.

00:14And until 11 o'clock, the number of votes that came out was 23.39%.

00:21This is compared to the last PRU at 11 o'clock, it was about 22.4%.

00:27This means that there is a good improvement.

00:29However, we are still hoping that the voters who have not yet come out can come out earlier.

00:35Because according to the Meteorology practice,

00:38the Meteorology Department expects that it will rain this afternoon.

00:43We hope that the voters who have not yet come out can come out early and take responsibility.

00:48And we hope that the voting rate will continue to increase well

00:52to ensure that the democracy that we aspire to can run well.

00:57So far, there have been no incidents that we have received.

01:01There are only two police reports that I understand.

01:03Both of them are in the police report.

01:06I don't have the details of the report, but it's all in the police report.

01:10The other report that we received is a report of minor offences.

01:14Such as issues, posters, etc.

01:16All of these have been taken into account by the SPR supervisor.

01:20We expect it to be more than 60%.

01:24If we look at the last PRU, the voting rate was 57%.

01:29We try to...

01:31Because in Keluang, the logistics are quite easy.

01:34Close to all the polling stations,

01:37adjacent to the city center.

01:39So we expect that on the 9th, God willing,

01:42on the 9th, we will try to make a movement.
