00:00If you were to vote in front of the coach, what would you say to them so that they can vote for you?
00:12I will tell them to vote for me.
00:16I will say, God willing, if there is a problem, God willing, I will help.
00:24God willing, if I am elected, God willing, I will help.
00:34Because when I was young, I was a difficult person.
00:38I was forced to help myself.
00:40When I was young, I wanted to help the community.
00:43What I could do was to help.
00:45That was my dream.
00:47To help young people.
00:49Like when I was in school.
00:51I was good at football, but I didn't have a boot.
00:54My school boots were black and white.
00:58When I was in high school, my teacher bought me a boot.
01:02When I was in middle school, my teacher gave me a racket.
01:04I was a poor person.
01:06I wanted to help young people.
01:09This is when I helped young people.
01:11Coach, from the point of view of young people in the city,
01:15do you think we should give more opportunities to young people
01:19so that they don't have to leave their hometowns?
01:22I see a lot of young people leaving their hometowns.
01:25Some work in Java, some work in Singapore.
01:27Because they don't have a job.
01:29This is a problem.
01:31I don't know for sure.
01:33But there are a lot of young people who have left their hometowns.
01:36There are a lot of people who work in Singapore.
01:38There are a lot of people who work in Singapore.
01:40A lot of young people don't even want to get a job.
01:43I feel sorry for them.
01:45Maybe they just want to get a little bit of money.
01:48There are a lot of young people who have degrees.
01:52Some of them bring their own rackets.
01:54So how can we help them?
01:56I will do whatever I can.
01:58I will help as much as I can.
02:01I can't just throw it away.
02:03When young people see me,
02:05they ask me to help them.
02:07I say, God willing, I will help them.
02:09Some will help, some won't.
02:11That's how I take care of myself.
