00:00I want to reaffirm once again, as I have repeated this many times, that a single minister,

00:19no matter how great we are, one or two people, will not achieve all the achievements that I mentioned earlier

00:30if there are not 15,000 people involved. Thank you to all of you.

00:38What I always say, I am guided by the civil servants. I am guided by the civil servants who is led by our CEO

00:46I am guided by the civil servants, especially in Kesumar, who is led by our CEO, our KSU, Dato' Asmah.

01:06That's why in my speech, I gave a general statement.

01:12It is our KSU who gave a specific statement on what needs to be done.

01:15He is our CEO.

01:17I hope this culture will continue, where not every time a minister will be right.

01:27It is very far.

01:29Because the minister does not understand many procedures in public services,

01:34such as management, management guidelines, which are far more facile than the two of us.

01:42So we must be guided by him.

01:44There must be a way in which he can give advice and guidance to the minister at the same time.

01:56So if the minister should be advised by the civil servants,

02:00then our civil servants, our heads of state, our SUBs must also have the attitude in which they can accept the views of other staff.

02:14But don't let the staff say that the minister gave a mandate, he gave a permit, he got angry at the civil servants.

02:22Give advice, look at it, accept it. That's our culture.

02:26But don't be afraid to have different views.

02:30In our culture, sometimes we say it is not possible.

02:34All leaders are right.

02:36The leader is 100% right.

02:38He can't be wrong.

02:40Even if he makes a mistake, it's okay, he's right.

02:42We have to be loyal.

02:44Loyalty to the leader, loyalty to our country does not mean that we cannot give advice,

02:50give enlightenment when we see something that is not right.

02:54As a person who holds the trust in the government,

03:00who takes care of the people's pocket money,

03:02we must dare to give different views to the leaders,

03:10advise the leaders.

03:12If you see something that is wrong, give advice, give enlightenment, give enlightenment.

03:16And I assure you that as a minister of Sumatera,

03:22I will stand by you.

03:24I will stand together with my fellow citizens

03:28if we do the right thing.
