00:00Jawa, we are aware of it, because it is one day, the average mobility is almost 350,000
00:27travelers a day, inbound, outbound, so it is a very large number.
00:33We believe that the process of immigration clearance can no longer be sustained by the existing system.
00:43We must act proactively by trying to explore and try to innovate by using various other systems.
00:55In the near future, KDN will make a series of announcements.
01:02This is under the responsibility of the Cabinet Office for Disaster Management,
01:08which is functioned by the Ministerial Staff, Dato' Fadillah, who is also a member of the IAEA.
01:14Yes, we will explore everything, including QR codes, including everything,
01:21there are a few options that we are considering.
01:24Because the most difficult thing there, according to the immigration record,
01:28is that travelers who travel daily, they take a bus, a bus for workers, a bus for tourists,
01:35so they have to get off the bus, they have to walk up the stairs,
01:40go through the inspection, get off at the end there to continue the journey.
01:45If there is an accident, the number is high, between 120,000 and 150,000 every day, just by taking a bus.
01:55Then there is the motorcycle, now we have the m-bike system, the number of motorcycles is tens of thousands.
02:02So if we can finish these two segments, taking a bus and riding a motorcycle,
02:08we have almost finished all the ideas, and we will discuss and conclude them in this month's meeting as well.
