00:00The presence of our friends in this coalition government is a political reality that we have to face and we see how difficult it is.
00:21For 22 months we have been a defender or we have been together with the government for a few moments
00:31and we have appointed one of our leaders to arrange so that our culture which has never been in the arena of defiance
00:52for us at that time to be a part of the government at that time
01:05However, it has passed because the political reality is in accordance with that time
01:11The political reality that is in front of us is in accordance with our situation and in accordance with the current situation
01:18Imagine, who needs who?
01:24Are there 30 seats that we have?
01:27Do we need 82 seats owned by PH?
01:31Or does PH need, those who have 82, need 30 seats?
01:38The minimum number needed to form a government in Putrajaya is 112 seats
01:46Try to make a calculation, 82 mixed with 30, that is enough for 112 seats to form a government
02:03Even though it is a small number, but that is the political reality
02:06Because without 30, 82 cannot form a government
02:18Those who have 30 must realize, it is predestined that if my Lord's order, 82 mixed with your father's order,
02:30at that time, 73, they can form a government with more than two majority parties, the total is 155
02:41We must remember, how can we form a government?
02:46This is a divine intervention
02:49This is because
02:54This is the reality
02:57What was said by Tengkun Zaprul is a new political reality where we must be grateful
03:04When those 30 have been appreciated by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,
03:14up to 7 people became ministers, and 6 became ministers
03:20In AP, those who have more seats than us, they only have 4, no, 5 full ministers
03:32Therefore, dear Ministers, please give appreciation to us
03:36Let us not be at the top, and think that the 7th is like we are dominant like before
03:44As if we have the full power to serve,
03:56to serve all requests according to the previous agreement, not the current agreement
04:03Therefore, this new political reality, I have said it 7 times in this meeting,
04:12that we must measure our own clothes
04:20In that situation, let us try to balance the political situation in Malaysia with other countries
04:28From 2018 to 2024, there are more than 70 countries where there are no dominant political parties
04:44that form a government in a single-handed way
04:51It is made in the form of a mixed government or a co-government, more than 70 countries
04:59This is the reality
05:02Maybe that is the current trend in the world, and we are not excluded
