00:00We have to accept that Malamuq and the rest of the Muslim family are based on public funds.
00:18Thus, in ensuring the implementation of the program, we want to make sure that there is no delay in giving focus.
00:30And do not make this body a private body that sometimes sees not only from the point of view of business, but also from the point of view of its employees and management.
00:42Therefore, the new head of state audit gives a push so that the monitoring is more detailed and transparent.
00:49And this we have to make as a new culture. How can we raise the level of the state and also in the issue of innovation.
00:58If the basis of governance is not pressured, that is the first.
01:05The second is the management. It is not just asking to continue the old work.
01:12Now we are dealing with the spirit of innovation.
01:15Innovation is like exploring the nature and fields, as well as discipline and new discoveries.
01:24We have to be ready, open the board, explore the nature, and the expertise must always be evaluated.
01:34Our greatness is not just compared to last year or 10 years ago.
01:39Our greatness is compared to the progress achieved by other countries.
01:44Whether there are neighbors or other countries.
01:49If we only improve the past achievements, which sometimes the level is very low, we will not achieve anything that we are proud of.
01:58So even though this is the MCY Summit, I want to emphasize the old decisions so that they can be implemented well.
02:05Because this will provide a big framework for what is needed in the country as a whole.
02:14We mentioned the Global Innovation Index.
02:18Indeed, our standards are not too low, but the 36th place is not proud.
02:2536 out of 132 countries.
02:28Because we have a more early basis, which should be more prepared, to take a leap.
02:35So I hope that we have the courage and seriousness to try to take a leap.
02:46I need to emphasize this point.
02:49We mentioned our success story.
02:54Yes, we have to acknowledge that, Alhamdulillah.
02:57But always in relation to the past.
03:01When I asked for a report, I gave the staff two weeks to submit a report.
03:05What about our performance in relation to the success and achievements of our neighbors?
03:13Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia.
03:18We were quite amazed because there was clearly relative success in many fields achieved by our neighbors,
03:32compared to what we have registered.
