00:00I am pleased to inform you that one of the main bases that needs attention is the relationship between Malaysia and the United States.

00:11As one of our main trading partners, the United States is not only an important export destination,

00:21but also a strategic partner in trade and investment.

00:28This relationship has developed continuously over a long period of time,

00:35providing great benefits to the Malaysian economy,

00:39including job opportunities and business opportunities for local companies.

00:46In addition to the economic aspect, we also cooperate closely on the issue of security,

00:54including combating violence, increasing maritime awareness, and maintaining territorial stability.

01:07This relationship has also been strengthened through military training, bilateral and multilateral training.

01:20Therefore, it is important for Malaysia to continue this relationship wisely for the good of the country.

01:31Two weeks after Trump won the second round as President of the United States on November 5, 2024,

01:43the President of Indonesia, the Prime Minister of Singapore, Thailand, and many world leaders

01:52have reached out to congratulate and strengthen cooperation between their countries.

02:02Namun, sehinga kini, sudah lepas tiga bulan, Perdana Menteri Malaysia belum dapat menghubungi ini bersama Trump.

02:15Sebagai pengurusi ASEAN, adalah penting untuk memastikan hubungan erat

02:22dengan salah satu rakan dagang utama kita terus diperkukuh.

02:28Selain itu, bagi mengisi kekosongan jawatan duta besar Malaysia ke Amerika Syarikat

02:35dan memastikan kestabilan hubungan diplomatik,

02:39saya mencadangkan pelantikan seorang career diplomat dengan izin berpengalaman sebagai duta besar

02:47serta penubuhan jawatan utusan khas ataupun special envoy dengan izin bagi lantikan politik.

02:56Ini mungkin boleh mencepatkan usaha diplomasi dan memperluaskan saluran komunikasi

03:04dengan kerajaan Amerika Syarikat.

03:07Tan Sri Yandi Pertua, saya bersetuju dengan langkah yang diambil oleh Trump

03:13dalam usaha mengurangkan kerenah birokrasi melalui inisiatif dengan penubuhan sebuah unit khas

03:23seperti Department of Government Efficiency ataupun DOGE dengan izin

03:29yang bertanggungjawab dan memastikan pelaksanaan dasar lebih pantas dan berkesan.

03:36Tambahan pula, tinjauan terkini di Amerika Syarikat menunjukkan bahwa langkah ini mendapat sokongan yang tinggi

03:45karena ia membantu mengurangkan pembaziran dan meningkatkan produktiviti sektor awam.

03:52Jika Malaysia mengambil pendakatan serupa, bukan saja ia dapat mencipatkan pembelajaran negara

04:00dengan mengurangkan birokrasi yang tidak perlu, tetapi juga menjadikan negara lebih mesra,

04:07perniagaan seterusnya menarik lebih banyak pelaburan asing dan domestik.

04:13Justru saya mencadangkan penubuhan sebuah unit khas ditubuhkan bawah pejabat Perdana Menteri

04:21dan wajar diterajui oleh seorang tokoh perniagaan yang memahami keperluan industri

04:34dan mampu menerapkan prinsip kecekapan dalam sistem pendidikan negara.
