00:00First, if we look at what's happening in the East Coast, there are a lot of food aid sources.

00:10For me, after looking at all the PPS in Macang and other areas, it's very, very sufficient.

00:17As for food, Alhamdulillah, I would like to congratulate JKM for providing sufficient food.

00:24As for NGOs, they are also providing sufficient food aid.

00:28So, for me, the main need for flood victims in these areas is due to the severe damage that occurred compared to last year.

00:38In fact, it's even worse than it was 10 years ago.

00:41I think, among the main needs, if any government, JKM, NGOs and NGIs want to help,

00:50one of the main needs that I see that needs to be addressed is such as toto, bantal, tika,

00:57pampas, orang tua, anak-anak, tuala wanita.

01:01All of these are very lacking.

01:03So, if there are many individuals who want to help, I assure you, please contact the representatives of the people there.

01:11Whether they are MPs or MPs.

01:13Because we know more about what's happening down there.

01:16Sometimes, it's good for us to provide aid.

01:18To get relief and so on.

01:20But we provide too much.

01:22Like food.

01:23So, it's a waste.

01:24Just throw it away sometimes.

01:26So, I hope that all parties, including the government itself, please contact us.

01:32We also request the best of you, dear Prime Minister.

01:37Best of luck, dear Prime Minister.

01:39As a Finance Minister, as a person who holds the flag of Malaysia Madani.

01:44This is a very difficult time.

01:48Please, send financial aid.

01:52Issue an ICU.

01:53Directly to the representatives of the people, MPs, MPs who are facing a terrible flood.

01:58Look at Pasir Mas, Tumpat, Lantau Panjang.

02:02Tenggelang. It's all ruined.

02:04Total loss in many places.

02:07Houses are damaged and so on.

02:08If we don't provide aid to the MPs,

02:11many things that can be done in a week,

02:15will be done in a month.

02:16Because of what?

02:17Because of bureaucracy.

02:18That's why we have MPs.

02:20MPs are the easiest way for us to help the people below.

02:23If MPs are put aside, how can we help the affected people?

02:27The government will also get a bad name.

02:29So, we don't want politics.

02:31We want justice.

02:32For the people and all those affected by the flood.
