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.
