00:00 So essentially that's why we are urging NTC to suspend while we see that we are being fooled.

00:13 In summary, to show the people the violations that we have seen so far.

00:20 Not just their franchise on Section 4, Section 10, Section 11, and now it seems even Section 12.

00:26 Even in the highest law of the land, our constitution has two articles, Article 12 and Article 16.

00:34 Even the KBP broadcast code, there's Article 1, Article 4, Article 5, Article 9, Article 30, Article 33.

00:43 We also have our own house rules because they don't tell the truth.

00:48 We have Section 11C and 11E in our house rules and it seems that even in the revised corporation code, it looks like that.

00:59 So we are simply really urging NTC that it seems that there's fraudulent aspects here.

01:09 Who else will we see next that will be fooled?

01:15 As Attorney Mark said, there's no forever.

01:18 That's because there are people who are fooled.

01:22 And if you are fooled, you should not stay in a toxic situation.

01:29 So it seems that there's fraud and we are fooled, that's why there are house rules.

01:36 And it seems that it's coming out little by little and they are dodging answering questions if they cannot answer, Mr. Chair.

01:44 What's scary is who else will they fool?

01:49 Will we agree to our mandate to protect the people from misinformation, to protect people from people who are violating the laws?

01:57 Will we agree?

02:00 I hope NTC will look at this well, that while they are looking, they are taking out all the violations, not just the franchise that you can see.

02:10 We are slowly seeing violations.

02:14 I hope you will suspend while we are looking at all the violations that are happening.

02:23 I'm really hoping SMNI would be able to submit such documents or proof because if not,

02:33 to SEC, this is grounds for cancellation.

02:40 Thank you.
