00:00 [Alif S. Sengapetani] Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

00:05 Before I invite the Honorable President to give his speech, I would like to correct a few things that happened before we stopped earlier,

00:17 namely the issue that was brought up and discussed earlier regarding the issue of allowing the

00:27 Minister of Agriculture to bring the issue to the House.

00:30 I noticed that Arau was not here, but because this is live, I think it is only fair to say that Arau has introduced a motion under Article 81.

00:46 Article 81, Arau has introduced a motion on 10 October, Wednesday, at 3.45pm, and the second on Wednesday, 11 October at 5.34pm.

01:04 But the motion that Arau brought up is not the issue of paddy, but the motion that Arau brought up is the issue of abuse of power by the right-wing public in the political campaign,

01:17 and the second is the issue of the lack of workers in the field of hair salon and the hair salon sector.

01:26 So, it is not in line with the issue of paddy that was brought up.

01:32 So, I think what Arau brought up is that I am not fair, I did not give him a chance to speak out.

01:43 So, I received a lot of criticism from the media that I was not fair to Arau,

01:49 and I gave him a chance to speak out, and it was even worse when he said that I was a son of a father.

01:56 So, I hope you will help me.

01:59 You want to play a game? Play a game among you. Don't get the Speaker involved.

02:03 Once you get the Speaker involved, it will be difficult.

02:07 So, you play politics? Play. I don't mind.

02:10 But don't get the Speaker involved, because I have all the evidence.

02:14 You might have your say, but I have my way.

02:17 Wait a minute. That's why I said that I was not appointed by any party.

02:26 I was elected under the institution.

02:29 So, because I was elected, which other parliament has elected me?

02:35 If you don't like me, put a motion. Put a motion, that's all. Get me out here.

02:40 But as long as I'm here, when there are rules, listen.

02:46 Because I don't play games. I don't play games here.

02:49 I don't play any political game. I allow you to play political games.

02:53 But when the Speaker stops, because we have a big agenda that we want to continue,

02:58 you go out and make statements that the Speaker...

03:03 You know, it's not good. It's not good.

03:06 Because if you want me to follow by the book, sure.

03:08 But we become tense. The Speaker and the parliament members become tense.

03:12 Do you want that to be?

03:14 We follow by the book now.

03:16 Every time we follow by the book. It's not good.

03:18 I don't want to do that.

03:20 So, please. If I give you a space, go ahead. But don't attack the Speaker.

03:25 No point. You will score nothing. You will gain nothing by attacking the Speaker.

03:30 No point.

03:31 I'll go last. Then I'll continue.

03:33 I'm sorry. I just want to continue what was said by the honoured speaker earlier.

03:38 The statement that the honoured speaker made, repeated,

03:42 when he was directed to leave the parliament,

03:45 that statement was repeated several times.

03:48 And the honoured speaker laughed at it.

03:51 I know. I know. Insinuation. I understand.

03:54 I'm enough. Okay. I understand.

03:57 I'm enough to feel it. Today I'm enough to feel it.

03:59 Because that insinuation. That insinuation cut me deep.

04:03 Because that's why I think... I think...

04:06 I'm enough. I'm enough.

04:08 I ask that the two hours suspension is not enough.

04:12 He must be taught a lesson so that he doesn't do that.

04:15 The honoured speaker has made a decision.

04:17 Mr. Dan, please. You talk.

04:18 The honoured speaker has made a decision.

04:20 Okay. I shall stop here.

04:22 The honoured speaker has made a decision. He has been directed to leave.

04:25 For the time being, he can return to the T.

04:27 That is the prerogative of the honoured speaker.

04:29 But I beg you.

04:31 Please, do not fight with the speaker. Do not.

04:34 No point.

04:36 Because you will not gain anything.

04:39 Fight with the speaker.

04:40 I try to do my job.

04:43 To solve the people's problem.

04:45 If you want to fight between two parties, then fight.

04:48 I don't care.

04:49 But once I come in, I ask for help. That's enough.

04:52 That's enough.

04:53 Okay. Let's continue.
