00:00The economic survey and the Prime Minister's speech in Pembentangan show that the poor

00:10and the rich are getting richer in our country.

00:14In the survey, 85% of the people with low incomes will receive subsidies,

00:25while 15% of the people with high incomes will not receive subsidies.

00:35I think, and maybe we can simplify this,

00:40if the people with low incomes are the top,

00:45and the people with high incomes are the bottom,

00:49then they are super rich.

00:51I don't want to say super rich.

00:54It's expensive.

00:55I can't say super rich.

00:57But they are super rich.

00:59T1, T2, T3.

01:01If you go down, T14, T15.

01:04They are not rich.

01:06Her husband earns Rp6,000,

01:08her wife earns Rp5,000,

01:10her unmarried child earns Rp4,000.

01:12If you add them up,

01:13it's more than Rp15,000.

01:15So it's T15.

01:18I agree with YB Mua.

01:21The RON95 subsidy,

01:26the government hospital facilities,

01:30and her school children.

01:33In Malay College, for example,

01:35they were subsidized.

01:37There are a lot of ministers here.

01:39A lot of them are from Malay College.

01:41There were some parliamentarians

01:44who were subsidized.

01:47So, it's a bit complicated.

01:50So, T1, T2, T3 are super rich.

01:55Super rich.

01:56Ultra rich.

01:57They are billionaires.

01:59So, I'd like to ask the Minister of Finance,

02:03maybe he's busy.

02:04Secondly,

02:05I'd like to inform you in the court,

02:07how many billionaires

02:10are there in Malaysia?

02:13Who are they?

02:17Then, which sector are they in power in?

02:20How much do they control the Malaysian economy?

02:24Do they pay their taxes?

02:28How many employees

02:30have been exempted from their wealth?

02:33So, I'd like to inform you in the court.

02:37But, please, save it.

02:41Don't let those 415 billionaires go to waste.

02:46To the speaker,

02:50one last thing.

02:52I support the government's diesel expansion.

02:59I support it.

03:00Let's have a small river election.

03:03I'm campaigning there.

03:04I'm defending the government.

03:06The government party has lost.

03:09My party has lost.

03:11So, I pity the PMX party.

03:14If they could win in the next election,

03:17but if they lose in the 95th round,

03:21I'm worried.

03:23Maybe we're just half-hearted.

03:25So, actually,

03:27these rich people don't use the 95th round.

03:34They don't even use the 97th round.

03:36They use electric cars.

03:38We're celebrating this round because...

03:42That's all.

03:43Thank you, Madam Speaker.
