00:00I have never read about the history of Islam, or China, or India, or Arab, or Latin America
00:14that the government fell because they helped spend a lot for the poor.
00:20I have never heard of it.
00:22It has never been recorded in any historical documents
00:32that the government lost or fell because they helped the poor
00:39or raised their salaries in a fair way.
00:44Never.
00:45The government fell because of corruption,
00:49misguidance,
00:51lack of leadership,
00:53misappropriation of property that is not their right.
00:55That is what caused them to fall.
00:58We should avoid such things and grow.
01:03I know there are challenges, but we are grateful, Alhamdulillah,
01:06because aside from the problems, I can say that we can record
01:11major changes,
01:13semiconductors like Infideon,
01:17the biggest investment,
01:19recently AWS,
01:23Google,
01:25Microsoft,
01:26they chose Malaysia.
01:28Some chose Malaysia as their hub.
01:32DHL, Malaysia,
01:35the first logistics automation center,
01:39they chose this.
01:41Nvidia, the biggest AI company,
01:44they chose Malaysia in Johor as their main AI hub.
01:49All of these facts are convincing.
01:53Our responsibility is to make sure that the country's policy is stable,
01:57clear base,
01:59effective implementation,
02:01and do not allow corruption, misappropriation, and corruption.
02:06Because corruption has become systemic,
02:09it is not easy to eradicate.
02:11It only needs a hard, firm, and consistent action.
02:16It needs a clear authority,
02:18monitoring in all levels,
02:21then it can be done.
02:23Because if we clean up corruption,
02:25the cost will go down.
02:27So I hope,
02:28cooperation in determining good governance,
02:32good governance,
02:34and countering corruption,
02:37not only public officials and politicians,
02:39but also entrepreneurs and businessmen.
02:41So hopefully,
02:43our experience today
02:45has matured us.
02:48And I hope,
02:49in Komeng,
02:53in other cities,
02:55throughout the country,
02:56we will speed up this process as well.
02:58If we can meet this housing target,
03:03for decades,
03:04I know,
03:05we have never achieved it.
03:07No one believes in RM400,000.
03:10Because,
03:12the commitment is not the same.
03:14How much do you want to help a low-cost house to get a commission?
03:19There is no commission to build a poor house.
03:22It's small.
03:23If you want to build a golf course,
03:26it's easy,
03:27and fast.
03:28If you want to build a luxury house,
03:30it's okay.
03:31If you build a luxury house,
03:32no one will protest.
03:33If you build a public house,
03:35people will protest.
03:37They will say,
03:38the environment is not good.
03:40This is not a good attitude.
03:43And hopefully,
03:45this project will run smoothly.
03:48If possible,
03:49faster than scheduled.
03:51If there is a problem,
03:53tomorrow morning,
03:55Fadlun will assign one officer.
03:58And I want to know the name of the officer.
04:00I want to give him a call
04:02to make sure
04:05that any issue that has been raised
04:09will be resolved speedily.
04:11And there should be no problem
04:13involving SEGA in this project.
04:15Because for the people who are waiting,
04:17it's too important for them.
04:20Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
