00:00I was very impressed last night with KSN and KPNATMA.
00:06I saw the preparations and asked them about food supplies.
00:12Of course, the availability of facilities is limited,
00:16but the treatment and all the staff,
00:21I am grateful and proud of the service shown.
00:28And this will continue.
00:30KSN called Ehsan Mahdani by the public.
00:36Because of the order of this reduction,
00:40what is it called, Ehsan?
00:42Ehsan Mahdani Squad.
00:44KSN is a bit radical, Squad.
00:48So, Ehsan Mahdani Squad.
00:50Because this is something that we should prepare.
00:53Because of the reduction, of course, there are responsibilities.
00:57That's why we also provide additional facilities
01:00to improve schools and PPS centers.
01:04Ease of cleaning, toilets, and so on.
01:07It also requires an order from mid-December.
01:13TPM reported earlier that there were some reductions,
01:19but they are now in Pahang and Johor.
01:25So, the preparations are all over the country.
01:29But if I were to emphasize the service,
01:33the entire Cabinet is reduced.
01:36Every minister is reduced,
01:39the public officials are reduced.
01:41The reduction is extraordinary.
01:43I can see, I can look around,
01:46at PPM, health, and everything.
01:52At the event we went to,
01:54I saw everyone's eyes were wide open,
01:56they didn't get enough sleep.
01:58Then, after Christmas, they fell asleep.
02:02Now, it's changed for a while.
02:04But this is a good story,
02:06sometimes it's not glorified.
02:09What will be glorified
02:11are those who are lazy,
02:13or those who steal money,
02:17or those who are late in graduation, and so on.
02:20But we have to be fair.
02:22If we look at it,
02:23there were about 10,000 people,
02:25if I'm not mistaken,
02:2680,000 were dismissed.
02:2882,000 were dismissed.
02:31This is not excluded.
02:35Sometimes, I see some people
02:38who went home to help their family at the weekend.
02:43And also NGOs.
02:49And sometimes it's not formal.
02:51I saw, from the food lorries,
02:54from Pinang,
02:56I happened to meet someone from Bukit Mertajam,
03:00he's not an NGO,
03:02he's just managing 10 food lorries,
03:06he was sent to Kelantan,
03:08and he was informed by the ATM
03:12to help distribute the food.
03:14This is the strength of Malaysian people.
03:17And he happened to be from Pinang, China.
03:21So, he thought about the same problem.
03:25So, we have to be fair about these things.
03:29This shows that the spirit of saving.
03:32Glicks under Petronas Treasury
03:37and PNB
03:39have also encouraged all the companies under them.
03:41Banks have also taken their own steps
03:46to help.
03:48And I also urge the private sector,
03:50others who are successful,
03:53please pay attention,
03:54whether by giving funds
03:56or preparing the funds.
03:58There are benefits in the current situation,
03:59not just funds,
04:01but prepare the funds
04:03so that all the private companies,
04:05from Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh,
04:07and Pinang,
04:09can also go to Kelanggang.
04:10First, they can see the lives of the people,
04:13their poverty,
04:15their difficulties,
04:17but with full patience.
04:19I was with KSN yesterday,
04:21with KP,
04:23when I visited them,
04:25MB Tengganu,
04:27when we asked,
04:29none of them complained.
04:31This is amazing.
04:33We know how to sit.
04:39The staff, of course, did not complain,
04:41but those who were affected,
04:43they said,
04:44it's okay,
04:45there's water on the bed,
04:47we'll go home after taking a shower.
04:49We ate, alhamdulillah, it was delicious.
04:51I thought if it was so delicious,
04:52they wouldn't want to go home.
04:54But when we asked about their health,
04:56the doctor said,
04:58their children are being taken care of,
05:00they're being taken care of.
05:02So,
05:04of course, in the tens of thousands,
05:06no, hundreds of thousands,
05:08now it's 153,000.
05:10153,000.
05:12I just want to check if Zahid remembers.
05:14153,000 this morning.
05:16It's big.
05:18Of course, there are a few who complain,
05:20but in general, this is the strength.
05:22That's why I'm proud.
05:24In Malaysia,
05:26wherever I go,
05:28I say, look,
05:30this is a country,
05:32various races, various religions,
05:34even though Islam is the majority,
05:36Malay is the majority,
05:38but life there,
05:40is something unique
05:42in history.
05:44And especially in the end,
05:46in the world.
