00:00To respond to the letter written by Mr. Araw to me,
00:09I would like to explain about the use of the word,
00:14don't be rude.
00:16So after researching all the things that have happened in this council on that day,
00:25and after referring to the Constitution of the Council,
00:29the Constitution of the Council of Languages and Literature,
00:322007 Edition 4,
00:34in page 854,
00:37it means, don't be rude,
00:41or bad, or rude.
00:45Therefore, starting from this condition,
00:48and starting from this time,
00:50and starting from this day,
00:52I do not allow experts to use the word, don't be rude,
00:58and I define this word as unparliamentary.
01:03So I hope Mr. Muhammad will take this matter seriously,
01:09and also,
01:11the difference from that, I think, is not my statement.
01:15Therefore, the word, don't be rude, cannot be used in this parliament.
01:22Next,
01:24Tan Sri, Tan Sri is correct.
01:26Tan Sri is correct.
01:28It is clear what the instruction is,
01:31don't be rude.
01:33But the question is,
01:35if it is put in front, don't.
01:37Don't be rude.
01:39I beg your pardon.
01:41The issue is,
01:43if you can choose, choose another word.
01:46Because it will cause problems,
01:48because I have said that the word itself,
01:51is considered,
01:52as it has been stated in the constitution,
01:56it symbolizes that a person is bad,
01:59rude, or not polite.
