I would like to respect the Prime Minister, before the general election on the 15th of September,
00:08
he has declared his assets. And the assets are true. This is not a slander against PMX.
00:12
The assets owned by PMX, he himself declared with RM values.
00:17
11.4 million is true.
00:19
However, the assets can not be accepted by friends.
00:24
Because from Love Money, if from Bulletin Mutiara, maybe.
00:28
But this is because of the Western media that you do not want.
00:34
If it can be considered, maybe it can be considered.
00:38
So I am ready to pull the list that I mentioned,
00:44
PMX is in the 17th ranking.
00:47
Leaders, this is not a corporate figure, not a businessman,
00:53
but this is a leader, either from the Prime Minister or the President of a country.
00:58
The 17th ranking, I can pull it, because the source of Love Money is not relevant.
01:04
And friends who can refer to Yahoo Finance have also listed what I said here.
01:11
So I can pull it back, reduce the ranking.
01:15
But the assets of PMX that were declared are true and not slander.
01:20
Thank you, Dato' Ian.
01:23
So, I want to add one more member.
01:37
Next time, I will look at it again.
01:42
Anyway, he is one of those who have experience in this field.
01:50
And he knows that there are things or references that we can refer to during the discussion.
02:02
And usually, he also knows, sometimes there are others who,
02:09
after raising the reference materials, are challenged.
02:13
And he cannot defend his beliefs.
02:17
That is normal.
02:19
He is forced to pull it back.
02:23
I want to make a ruling.
02:25
Like what the speaker said earlier,
02:29
pull it back and apologize to this court,
02:33
so that he does not make a mistake.
02:35
The other thing I want to say is, when politics comes out in this court,
02:40
be ready to take responsibility for certain police reports.
02:47
In this court, I want to settle this matter here.
02:53
Thank you, Dato' Ian Speakers, for what I said earlier.
02:55
Because of the list that I presented during the discussion session,
03:01
the leader or PMX is in the 17th rank.
03:06
The 17th rank is the leader of the country.
03:08
In the Philippines, corporations are richer.
03:11
PMX is the leader of the country.
03:13
So, I pull it back because of the source that I mentioned earlier.
03:16
Love money cannot be used as a reference.
03:18
Although there are other sources.
03:20
On my statement regarding PMX and the list,
03:28
put him in the ranking of world leaders,
03:31
I pull it back and apologize to everyone.
03:34
But what I said earlier is true and not a lie.
