00:00Our country, especially the five economic sectors, agriculture, mining, building, health,

00:20we need foreign workers to come to our country at this moment.

00:30For oil drilling, for mining, for the construction sector, etc.

00:40If we don't need them, we will ask how many of our young people, Malay, Chinese, Indian,

00:46who are willing to tie the bricks, willing to become crane drivers, willing to plant oil palm trees in the fields.

00:53If we don't plant them, we will suffer tens of billions of pounds in losses.

01:00I must find a solution.

01:02From the point of governance, those who take care of the foundation, set the foundation.

01:07Now, how many of us?

01:09Now, we have closed it.

01:11Since 2019, there are no more foreign workers.

01:16We have closed it.

01:18Is there anyone else?

01:20Is there anyone new?

01:22No.

01:23There are those who say, open it to work in the fields.

01:28There are those who say, it's God's will.

01:30It's God's will, we can't do it.

01:32We will suffer losses in the fields.

01:34So, I said,

01:36ask the field company how much you need.

01:40Then, we will do the laying.

01:42The bricks will be laid.

01:45Then, the oil palm trees will be laid.

01:48Check it first, then we will divide it into sections and give it to them.

01:52There is no more.

01:53We have closed the other sectors.

01:56There is no more.

01:58To clarify,

02:02in the past,

02:04we had to stop the oil palm trees.

02:07You can do it.

02:09That is the history of Rajup Kedahasi,

02:11the most unpopular in the country.
