00:00He is also a young leader who has support not only from young voters,
00:08where more than 51% of voters in Mangkuten are young voters.
00:13Besides that, he has supported people over 40 years.
00:18The important thing is that this place was once held by Allah Almighty,
00:23Dato' Sharifah Aziza.
00:26However, the party has decided to appoint him as the representative of Barisan Nasional
00:35in the coalition government for this election,
00:39and the support from the three branches to him.
00:43And I would like to express my gratitude to the Honorable Deputy Mayor of Johor,
00:48who is the director of the election, who has started the work earlier.
00:53That's why Barisan Nasional has announced a week earlier than the election day.
01:01There are many challenges that we have to deal with internally and externally.
01:07Internally, this is the third time the election has been held,
01:13apart from the general election, the state election, and the small election.
01:19For the external challenges, we know that the national issue will definitely be used,
01:32and we have found that about 50% of voters in Mangkuten
01:39are voters who live outside the area of Mangkuten.
01:46Not only in Mangkibul, but also outside the area of Keluang.
01:50And there are also many workers in Singapore.
01:53However, through negotiations with the parties in the coalition government,
01:58we are looking for a way to get them back to vote on the election date.
02:07Dato' Sharifah, how do you feel about BN's confidence?
02:10We are grateful because we had more than 5,200 votes,
02:17and we did not put confidence as the basis,
02:23but we are trying to ensure that the votes will be returned to Barisan Nasional,
02:32because Dato' Sharifah Azizah has given a very good performance in the previous elections.
02:38And this makes it easier for me as a candidate to continue the good relationship in this area.
