00:00Mr. Speaker, one more issue that I want to mention is a new word for half of the Malaysian people,
00:09which is called an addendum.
00:12It's not a proverb, it's an addendum.
00:18The legal term for an addendum is an addition to a completed written document.
00:29Most commonly, this is a proposed change or explanation.
00:36In other words, it's an addition to a completed written document.
00:44What I want to highlight is a new process of forgiveness that has been carried out by the 16th High Commissioner,
00:54who has heard an appeal for forgiveness by a national figure who has served his sentence.
01:04He has been given a reduction in prison terms,
01:11and his sentence has been given either forgiveness
01:18or release from prison.
01:23In other words, he has been released from prison.
01:26He doesn't have to pay a fine and so on.
01:28But in this case, when the second person in our country has made an affidavit
01:37to support the request of the leader, who happens to be from his party,
01:44he made an affidavit stating that he saw and was shown by his party leader,
01:54who happens to be a minister,
01:56that during the process of forgiveness,
02:00the 16th High Commissioner has included an addendum,
02:04which states that this person or this party has been given house arrest.
02:13So, I would like to...
02:15Hold on, hold on.
02:17I would like to...
02:18No, the court order.
02:20A new order.
02:22Point of order.
02:24A court official, when discussing the law,
02:29is not allowed to bring up Article 8, Article 36.8,
02:34the behaviour or character of the High Commissioner.
02:38I am not questioning the High Commissioner, I am questioning...
02:40No, no, the new order was referring to...
02:42No, no, you are wrong.
02:43No, no, the new order. I object.
02:45I have never questioned the High Commissioner.
02:48I am questioning the person who made the affidavit,
02:52the person who made the affidavit,
02:59who made two affidavits,
03:01states that...
03:03No, no, you are wrong.
03:05...that a leader in this court...
03:09The new order states that...
03:12The new order states that...
03:20I would like to know, does this matter exist?
03:25It is impossible that the High Commissioners and ministers in this court
03:31do not know whether this affidavit exists or not.
03:35Many Malaysians know whether this affidavit exists or not.
03:41And what is more important is...
03:43Please withdraw it.
03:44I would like to make a comment in the text of the new order.
03:50I will withdraw it.
03:51A comment in the speech,
03:54the speech that should have been made...
03:55The new order refers to the behaviour of the High Commissioner.
03:58Please sit down.
04:28I have been allowed by the Speaker...
04:35Your Honour, the new order does not refer to the behaviour of the High Commissioner.
04:42I did not say that.
04:43But the fact is that it happened at that time.
04:47That is a reference to his behaviour.
04:50That is a reference to the power he exerted.
04:52The affidavit was issued.
04:54Who am I to refer to?
04:55The lawyer does not understand.
04:57Who am I to refer to?
04:58You are the one who does not understand.
05:10You are a lawyer.
05:12From which school of law are you?
05:18You do not understand.
05:27You can report.
05:31Your Honour...
05:37Your Honour...
05:44Your Honour...
05:46I do not allow the new High Commissioner to refer to the behaviour of the High Commissioner.
05:54So, it is okay.
05:55I think the time is up.
05:57The time is up.
05:59Whatever has been said earlier, the Minister will answer after this.
06:02So, I will end it.
06:04Please sit down, Your Honour.
06:06The new order, I invite Your Honour to...
06:09Your Honour, the point of order that was raised was not acceptable.
06:13And there is no violation.
06:14It is acceptable.
06:15It is acceptable.
06:16I have said that I do not allow it.
06:19Does he think that he is the only one in parliament?
06:21He can argue like that.
06:22There are laws.
06:23There are laws.
06:24Follow the parliament.
06:25Follow the laws.
06:26You are illegal.
06:29Your Honour, I...
06:31It is illegal.
06:32What you said is illegal.
06:33He is right.
06:34Wait.
06:35He is lying.
06:37Give him a chance.
06:38I want to ask...
06:41The decision of the Speaker to not allow the use of the High Commissioner.
06:48I agree.
06:50But I also want to ask...
06:52This is an addendum.
06:55What addendum is this?
06:57So I want to mention it so that everyone knows
07:01so that Jelutong can rise.
07:03If we don't mention this is an addendum,
07:07Jelutong will not rise.
07:08What addendum is this?
07:09Because he himself asked, what addendum is this?
07:11Because of that,
07:13Kota Baru raised
07:15this is an addendum
07:19that was said by
07:22Yamad Muhammad Timbalan, the Prime Minister.
07:26The addendum that was said was issued by
07:29Mr. Agung.
07:31That is not accusing Agung.
07:34Only that was said.
07:37Is this wrong?
07:39I think this is to give an explanation to everyone,
07:43including Jelutong,
07:45so that Jelutong can rise.
07:47If not, he will not rise.
07:49Because of that, it shows that the addendum is clear.
07:54I think something that gives an explanation
07:58must be used.
08:04I think what is to be discussed by
08:06Yamad Muhammad Kota Baru
08:08has been mentioned earlier,
08:10so I don't think we need to continue.
08:13So I hope whatever was mentioned earlier,
08:16if you want an explanation,
08:18ask the Minister for an answer later.
08:20So I invite Yamad Muhammad Selayang to speak.
