00:00Police focus on four articles, I said that if there is a case of

00:27The case of misguidance against practices, teachings of Islam, etc.

00:34That is the full jurisdiction of the court.

00:37And the offices of the National Religious Council will also give a ruling on that matter.

00:47Under the KDN, under the police, I said that the action of the police is guided by the four articles that I mentioned earlier.

00:54Because our focus is only on that.

00:58For example, atipsom.

01:00Is there an element of human trafficking?

01:03Or is there an element of forced labour?

01:05Working without being paid.

01:07Is that included in the scope?

01:09That doesn't bother us at all.

01:11We focus on whether there is a violation of sexual crimes against children, for example.

01:18So our focus is on that.

01:20So our cooperation is with the Ministry of Chemistry, Ministry of Health.

01:25That is our focus.

01:27From the case of the case of the continuation of the Aura Mahamadiyah,

01:32to an organization called ARKAM,

01:35which has already made a decision about it by the government,

01:39that is the religious authority that gave the ruling.

01:44You said earlier that you think that you can prove yourself as a journalist

01:51regarding the issue of JSB. Is that your personal opinion?

01:55I don't want to touch on that personal opinion.

01:57No, I just want to focus on the police investigation first.

02:03In other words, I don't want to beat people.

02:07Is there?

02:09Thank you, Mr. Tan Sri.

02:11Do you agree with the JSB ruling?

02:13I think it's still the same as what Tan Sri said.

02:16We have 592 children.

02:20We define the number of children as 18 years and below.

02:24592.

02:26Whereas, as a follower of the JSB, we have 359.

02:32So the number remains the same.

02:35We are 60 and 80.
