00:00I just came back from Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Brazil, Korea, and before that China in a short period of time.
00:19Why did they look at Malaysia and ASEAN?
00:24They said it was one of the safest countries in the world.
00:34And Malaysia, for example, with its various religions.
00:44Foreigners applauded and said it was one of the safest countries in the world.
00:51It's complicated to maintain, there are many functions, various skin colors, but there is unity and peace.
01:01Malaysia and ASEAN are considered the fastest in terms of speed and economic growth.
01:14Malaysia, and we are fortunate to be in this region, ASEAN, is one of the most peaceful regions in the world.
01:27And more significantly, one of the fastest growing economies of the world for 660 million people.
01:37Protect this with all the might that you have.
01:43Preserve this peace and unity and work hard with tenacity and courage to ensure that not only we survive, but we excel as a great nation.
01:59That must be our dream.

02:28When I see of all ethnic groups here, and we can preserve this with determination and never, I repeat, never assume that this is necessarily a permanent feature.
02:49It's through hard work, through determination, and presenting higher ideals, ideas that bind us, ideas that promote humanitarian values, ideas that bind our culture and our nation.
03:10That will determine our future.
03:14Applause
