00:00Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Akaraka Media.
00:04Thank you very much. Welcome.
00:07For every 100 people who enter our country, 75% of them have two entrances.
00:14KLI 1, KLI 2, Sutan Iskandar building, Sutan Ubakar complex in Johor.
00:19We have 141 entrances.
00:22But these two entrances manage 75% of travelers.
00:29So you can imagine, after these two entrances, we can say that the door is closed.
00:36Let me share a few new initiatives.
00:38First, KDN through Immigration has implemented Immigration Check Code using QR code
00:46and proof of concept by several companies
00:50through MyTrip, MyRentas and MyBorderPass applications.
00:56Now it is being implemented at the entrance gate of Malaysia-Singapore,
01:00Sutan Iskandar building and Sutan Ubakar complex.
01:03We have received high reception from travelers.
01:08The last number that I understand from Dato' KP,
01:11who has registered for the use of all these applications,
01:15the total is 500,000.
01:17During this trial period,
01:20we found that the data reduced the waiting time
01:25from 70% to 80% compared to before.
01:30The use of this code is currently underway.
01:34Sutan Iskandar building has 197,901 passengers,
01:402.55% of the total number of movements, 7.8 million.
01:46Sutan Ubakar complex has 311,130 passengers,
01:54which is 15% of the total number of movements.
01:57The next phase,
01:59Malaysians, non-Malaysians,
02:03including long-distance passengers,
02:06and not only buses and motorcycles,
02:09but also self-driving vehicles.
02:11At KLIA, in the final process,
02:14to add 40 more units of new autogates,
02:17to become K80,
02:18and Pinang Island.
02:20Pinang Island will also have additions.
02:23So we have negotiated with Malaysia Airport Berhad
02:26for the addition of autogates.
02:28We need more space.
02:31Of course, in our timing,
02:33but our timing is very dependent on the POC,
02:37which is very convincing.
02:38So we have to observe the timing
02:40when the first phase is fully underway.
02:43So I will announce,
02:45for the information of the public,
02:49for now, for us to study the POC timing first,
02:53with time savings,
02:55the increasing number,
02:57that gives us confidence.
03:08Thank you.
