00:00 As mentioned by the Minister and Mr. Sarwana,

00:02 about the workers.

00:04 We have too many workers in this country.

00:07 Sometimes we can do the work.

00:10 So, for that reason,

00:12 I ask for the approval

00:14 of the grants

00:16 that are given to the local people.

00:19 If they are sublet to people who are not Malaysian citizens,

00:23 we will withdraw the grant.

00:29 I am giving this so that there will be no protest tomorrow.

00:34 I will say it again.

00:36 The lessons are given to the local people.

00:40 They must be used by the local people.

00:43 If the lessons are given to foreigners,

00:50 we will cancel the lessons and give them to Malaysians.

00:55 Do you agree?

00:56 No.

00:59 Then, there are some requests.

01:03 Like Mr. Sarwana Nushoor.

01:06 He asked for a hair cut.

01:09 I don't understand why he can't get a hair cut.

01:12 Sometimes, Aziza gets a hair cut.

01:15 Sometimes, it doesn't look good.

01:17 If it's not good, then Aziza gets a hair cut.

01:20 Once, in my experience in Singapore,

01:24 a local asked for a hair cut.

01:26 When he came to me,

01:28 he wanted a hair cut.

01:29 The security guard and the MCQ team were all there.

01:32 I saw him.

01:35 I told him to be patient.

01:36 Don't let him get a hair cut.

01:38 But he said, "No, I've been waiting for a long time."

01:40 He kept jumping on my hair.

01:43 Because his hands were not steady.

01:47 So, we gave him a hair cut.

01:49 Because the hair cut shops asked for it,

01:52 I told him to give it to them.

01:56 The same goes for restaurants.

01:58 But I didn't want to give it to the whole.

02:00 Because I think we need to find a way.

02:04 Let the TIFET owners,

02:06 or the capitalists,

02:08 we need to find a way to give the capital.

02:10 If it's an Indian shop,

02:11 give it to the Indian children.

02:13 Give them training.

02:15 Because now, young people

02:16 don't want to be like before.

02:19 They don't want to be like before.

02:22 We gave him training.

02:25 Hair cut.

02:26 What was the other one?

02:27 Hair cut.

02:29 But because of the urgency,

02:32 for these three categories,

02:34 we didn't pass the exam completely.

02:36 And I asked,

02:37 later in the meeting of the Prime Minister

02:39 on Friday,

02:40 the Prime Minister will bring a paper

02:42 so that we pass the exam successfully

02:43 for these three categories.

02:47 And the condition of the Ministry

02:50 is to ensure that we have some training

02:53 and incentives

02:54 to ensure that our children

02:56 are trained and work.

02:59 Thank you.

03:00 Thank you.

03:01 Thank you.

03:02 Thank you.

03:03 Thank you.
