00:00I understand that Mr. Latte's investment here is titled Leap Together to New Horizons.

00:20So this was successfully launched on the 27th of August this year,

00:25with the participation of dealers from across the ASEAN region.

00:30And I believe that the entire region is eagerly anticipating today's launch of Leap Motor C10.

00:40This is a vehicle distinguished by its groundbreaking technology and innovative design.

00:48Not that I've seen the car, it's based on my notes.

00:52So we know that Talantis is not a new player in the Malaysian auto industry,

00:57but this launch marks a significant moment for both Malaysia and the wider region.

01:03And your decision to make Malaysia the first market in Southeast Asia for Leap Motor

01:10and the all-new Leap Motor C10 demonstrates the confidence that global players have

01:17in our country's growing role as a hub for new energy.

01:22So thank you to the group.

01:24And the C10, I know that the C10 will also enhance consumer choices with access to world-class EVs.

01:35We of course have low-carbon emission targets.

01:38Our target to be net zero by as early as 2050 or by 2050.

01:44And this also comes at a time when the global automotive industry is experiencing a shift,

01:50a transformative shift towards sustainable mobility solutions.

01:55So I'm confident that all of you here are conscious about real and greatly appreciative

02:01that we have another exciting option when we blast for EV cars.

02:07So ladies and gentlemen, there's a bit of information that I'd like to share with you.

02:12The automotive industry remains a very important pillar for Malaysia's economic growth.

02:18And it actually contributes about 4-5% of our GDP annually and supporting over 700,000 jobs.

02:28So it's a very important part of our economy.

02:32And we have the sector's total import value of 16 billion ringgit and export value of 18 billion ringgit.

02:39And mainly for exports of automotive parts.

02:42So there is a trade deficit for this automotive sector.

02:46So we need to do something about this.

02:48And with Stellantis announced its position to establish Malaysia as a regional manufacturing hub

02:55as part of its build in ASEAN, for ASEAN strategy, along with the regional headquarters for India and Asia-Pacific.

03:03Of course, we are meeting fairly almost.

03:06We were very clear, we are still current and I'm optimistic that this decision will significantly boost our automotive industry

03:14facilitating advanced technology transfer and also contribute to improving our export.
