00:00We were destined to be suspended in the 14th PRU elections.
00:11The model of sharing power was implemented by the government at that time.
00:18However, their sharing did not last long.
00:24This is because they are doing a mutawah political marriage.
00:31This is because their principle of sharing is filled with political agreement
00:39and goodwill and mutual distrust.
00:43This has happened among them, which we have witnessed.
00:51For five years, when they were in government, we have seen instability.
00:57Even the parliament was suspended.
01:02Now, after the 15th PRU, once again, Malaysian politics has been tested.
01:08There is no party or coalition that has enough people.
01:16Not enough people, but enough.
01:21At that time, they wanted to form a government.
01:25We must acknowledge this fact.
01:28We must acknowledge this fact with the wisdom and wisdom of Sri Paduka Baginda,
01:36who was the 16th PRU President.
01:38We continue the principle of sharing power.
01:42We give our appreciation to Baginda.
01:45We make a decision in this meeting with the agreement of Tok Mat.
01:58We are together with Tuan Ku Agung on the decision that has been taken by Baginda.
02:06We are very grateful to Baginda and we are saddened by Baginda's departure.
02:17We are still together with Baginda.
02:20UMNO is still together with Baginda and the kings of Malaya.
02:27Even though there are some who are agitated,
02:32and there is some craziness,
02:37and questioning,
02:40why wasn't he appointed as Prime Minister again?
02:45To the point that,
02:47Paduka Tuan Ku is willing to be ridiculed.
02:50This is against the rules of the palace.
02:53Tuan Ku, don't worry if Baginda is not there.
02:56UMNO is still together with Tuan Ku.
02:59The truth is, sharing power is a given,
03:03and all parties must accept it.
03:06It is our wish.
03:08It is the wish of the people of Malaya.
03:13The principle is,
03:15if they want to share power with us,
03:19Islam, Malay, the rule of Malay,
03:22and the Malay language is not fair.
03:25In Malay, there is no compromise.
03:29That is our stance.
03:32Whoever it is,
03:35that is why during the formation of the National Parliament 50 years ago,
03:41this is also UMNO's stance.
03:46What do we say to the Movement Party and the PPP at that time,
03:52who wanted equal rights in our country?
03:58Remember,
03:59this is also what we said to the DAP two years ago.
04:08If these conditions can be accepted,
04:10we can work together with PH 2.0,
04:14where the DAP is in.
04:18We are firm in this stance.
04:21Even if there is political cooperation in the future,
04:26and it may also involve any parties,
04:30we will not hesitate to determine these four main things.
04:34We will defend them, and UMNO will defend them.
04:42I would like to emphasize,
04:45if we work together with any party,
04:48if the status of Islam,
04:51the struggle of the Malay agenda,
04:53the position of the Malay King,
04:54the position of the Malay era,
04:56and the strength of our friends in the National Parliament,
05:00is wrong,
05:01we will never accept cooperation with any party.
05:07We will not hesitate to make political decisions to stop cooperation.
05:13I repeat,
05:14we will never hesitate
05:18if any party in the coalition government
05:22marries, values,
05:25and also
05:27takes away our trust.
