00:00...announcing the honorable arrival of Dato' Sri Anwar bin Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Indonesia.

00:11What do we agree on to increase productivity?

00:15First, to increase the minimum entry qualification into public education,

00:21to the Malaysian Certificate of Education, or SETARA.

00:25So, the burden and complexity of the task is added and increased.

00:35And this involves multiple tasks, multi-tasking and multi-skilling.

00:45As a return to the government, the use of human resources and public services can be optimized.

00:55We expect 17 services schemes to provide the best services in the evolution of technology and public education.

01:06Therefore, we carry out a study on the functions of ministries and agencies,

01:14which are focused on two main areas, namely entrepreneurship and national security,

01:19which is expected to be completed by July 2025.

01:21The JPA will conduct an audit of all ministries and agencies,

01:26so that this imbalance can be improved.

01:30And ministries and agencies must provide full cooperation,

01:34and not in the usual way,

01:36that is, each ministry only requires additional officers to follow the rules,

01:43but not to follow the principles.

01:45Therefore, the rationalization of the ministries and agencies must be improved.

01:55For example, abroad, we have the Tourism Board,

02:02we have MATRID, we have MITI,

02:05in addition to the Ministry of Finance,

02:07and all have their own ministries.

02:09And starting from January 1, 2025,

02:12all ministries abroad,

02:14MOTEC, MITI, MATRID, and MIDA,

02:17will be united under one roof to save costs

02:24and optimize the cost of operations.

02:27The world is still small,

02:29the economy and technology are advanced,

02:32but the way we think and act is still busy.

02:35Therefore, we must work together,

02:38ministries and agencies must accept the fact

02:41that these works can be carried out optimally

02:46through a more organized process.
