00:00I gave a speech yesterday because the narrative out there is that there is no violence against

00:15the foundation of the country, even though they say that we have not done anything.

00:21There is no scandal involving the leadership of the country, corruption or abuse of power.

00:28What is happening is that it is an issue of the people.

00:33That this government is weak because it is subordinate to the powers of the parties,

00:40especially the DAP.

00:41That is the narrative.

00:43Don't they know the DAP?

00:45They do.

00:46In the past, the people, for almost 15 years, passed along with the DAP.

00:55In the past, the PH was subordinate to Tuan Mahathir.

00:59The people who are now united, they have passed along with the leadership of the DAP.

01:06Is their narrative a true narrative?

01:11No.

01:12It is a narrative of a desperate group.

01:17This is what is called desperados in politics.

01:22There is no foundation.

01:23There is no basic criticism.

01:25There is no new suggestion.

01:27But they carry the old flag, which is to intimidate the Malay community

01:36about the anger of the Chinese group.

01:41What else is being fought with the DAP flag?

01:46This is the DAP.

01:48Even though the narrative out there is only about the issues of the people,

01:52but believe in the history of the politics of the land.

01:57DAP and leadership became true.

02:02Prominent leaders, courageous, outspoken,

02:06had to undergo oppressive, under draconian laws.

02:13They were the voice of conscience, talking about democratic accountability,

02:17talking about transparency, and exposing corruption involving political leaders at that time.

02:26I salute them because they created and began this mass education of Malaysians,

02:34particularly among the young, what governance is all about.

02:38This country cannot follow the same pattern as other countries

02:44where there is a community.

02:47There is no country in the world,

02:49where the unity and solidarity between the communities can be stable.

02:56There is none.

02:57So we have a choice.

02:59We can be the hero of the people.

03:02We can have a chauvinistic view.

03:07We can defend the fanaticism of the people and religion,

03:11or we can save the nation and the country.
