00:00Peace be upon you. I'm Haris Mohamad from Malaysia Kini.
00:04I have two questions.
00:06Please go ahead, Haris from Malaysia Kini.
00:08One is about the sexual harassment case against the head of PKR.
00:14Will PKR call the former MP to give an explanation to the head of PKR?
00:23Will the government depend on him?
00:32The second question is about the sexual harassment case.
00:42The police have classified it as NFA.
00:46Will the YB Ministry follow up with the police?
00:53What will the government do to provide better protection to female journalists?
01:00The government is serious about issues like sexual harassment.
01:09We should not tolerate it.
01:14We cannot tolerate such things.
01:17In the first question,
01:21since it is a police investigation,
01:25neither the party nor the government has any concrete information.
01:33So we will leave it to the police to investigate.
01:36In the second question,
01:38since it is a NFA case,
01:46I have received information about it.
01:50I would like to report it to the police.
01:55But I cannot comment further.
01:59Is the reporter being given any form of support?
02:05Is she being given any professional leave?
02:10I believe that the media has provided information.
02:19She is in contact with me.
02:23We will ensure her safety.
02:26I would like to assure all journalists,
02:31if you are a victim of sexual harassment,
02:35whether you are a man or a woman,
02:38please report it to the police and let me know.
02:43We will ensure the safety of the journalists
02:49and ensure justice for those who are victims of sexual harassment.
