00:00Yesterday, for example, 85 houses were allowed to return home.

00:05These 85 houses include more than 115 houses that have been inspected by the Bomber

00:11and are in safe condition.

00:13So I believe that today or tomorrow, more houses or owners can return to their homes

00:20because yesterday we did not allow it because we could not continue

00:24the supply of utilities such as water and electricity in their private homes.

00:29And today I received good news when the Housing and Real Estate Agency

00:34has offered more than 100 units of houses to the victims in the form of Smart Rental.

00:40So if everything goes well, in a week or two, we can place them in the houses

00:48offered by AirBnB and also in Smart Rental.

00:51Later we will announce after I complete the agreement

00:54and also we will bring it to our government

00:58so that we can reduce the pressure on the residents who have to stay in PPS

01:05or Temporary Settlement Centre.

01:07Okay, next question.

01:09Will Smart Rental still have to pay the rent?

01:13We will try to pay part of the rent from the contribution

01:17and also from what we will arrange with the government.

01:22Because there are three steps.

01:24First is the immediate contribution.

01:26When it is completed, we will make a staggered payment.

01:31We will look at the data, documents and we will distribute it.

01:34And after that, we will look at it again in a week

01:39to start placing or placing them out of PPS.

01:43They cannot enter their homes.

01:45Maybe they can enter Temporary Settlement Centre that is prepared

01:48or subsidized by the government.

01:51We will look at the offers that are given.

01:53Not everything we can promise here

01:56because we don't have the asset or the house reserve that is here.

02:03But the ones that are near here, we will offer first.

02:08I also want to see where it was offered.

02:10Where was it? I forgot.

02:12Some were offered by MPHS here in Sepang.

02:15Not far from here.

02:17I understand that there are those who go to school and so on

02:19but that is a temporary offer for them to stay in Temporary Settlement Centre.

02:24What we have so far is an offer from Kota Warisan.

02:27The one from ABNB may be scattered around.

02:31We will verify with ABNB as soon as possible.
