00:00The addition of documents to the former IDPA, to the current IDPA is wrong, do you want to comment on that?

00:06I can't comment because the case is already in court.

00:09Whoever feels that it is wrong, it is up to the judge.

00:14Maybe TK Udin can include his affidavit. I don't know, I'm not involved.

00:20Is it true the meeting minutes of the Pardons Board were leaked and whether police report will be lodged?

00:26No, I'm not involved in all this. You have to ask the Pardons Board ministers in charge.

00:31All I can tell you is for me, my personal view is that there is this dispute on the gag order.

00:37But my personal opinion, I don't think so, there should be a gag order because number one, it's already public domain.

00:44And number two is that parliament is going to sit in next month, so all this may be raised again.

00:52But I think to be fair, maybe the AGC have their legal reasons and they're going to submit to court and let the court make a decision.

01:00We have to respect the court, okay? That's my statement.

01:03Who will the gag order apply to? The public?

01:07No, I think when the AG submits an application, they will ask an order from the court.

01:12To what extent, I wouldn't know.

01:14Because I'm not in charge of AGC, so I don't know how the application is going to look.

01:19Any rationale behind the application?

01:21Even I cannot answer that.
