00:00I would like to emphasize that when questions are raised,
00:06I am glad to hear that the members of parliament agree that the SPM does not need to be delayed.
00:13That is the first point.
00:15Secondly, I would like to emphasize that when we make decisions
00:22regarding the continuation of the SPM,
00:26it is a joint decision.
00:28It is a joint process.
00:30The risk assessment is also joint.
00:33So, what we decide,
00:35based on Washa Wirhumphil Amri,
00:37and we have also discussed and seen what the risks are,
00:43then we continue to take into account
00:45that what is affected is only 1%
00:49of the total number of SPM candidates who are taking the SPM test.
00:56That is the second point.
00:57The third point is related to the question
01:00why today we are able to know
01:02that they can take the test on other days.
01:07I would like to clarify,
01:09when the OPS Payung is activated,
01:13what do we expect?
01:14Safety and well-being.
01:16Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude
01:20to MP Rantau Panjang,
01:22MP Rantau Panjang,
01:23MP Tumpad,
01:25MP Pasir Mas,
01:26who I know have worked together with the agency
01:29to save all our students.
01:32Likewise, yesterday I was in Kelantan
01:34for a day
01:35with the Kelantan Education Exco
01:37to investigate, monitor,
01:39and ensure all the related matters
01:43and our decision to conduct the SPM
01:46went smoothly.
01:48So the first phase is completed.
01:51Entering the second phase,
01:52which is concerned by many of you,
01:55is related to the psychological,
01:57psychosocial,
01:58and mental preparation of these children.
02:00I would like to emphasize,
02:01yesterday was the second phase,
02:03preparing their emotional release
02:06to face the examination.
02:08Alhamdulillah,
02:09Alhamdulillah,
02:10all the preparation related to emotional release
02:13went very well.
02:14Our children are very strong
02:16and made the necessary preparation
02:19to face the examination.
02:21They have been prepared from the beginning of the year
02:24with mental preparation,
02:25resilience,
02:26and most of it has been prepared by their teachers
02:29to face all situations.
02:32To that end,
02:34I would like to emphasize that
02:35during the process of saving them,
02:38we have already expected,
02:41observed,
02:42and made sure
02:44that if there are any of our candidates
02:46who were rejected from the test
02:49that will be held yesterday.
02:51So there is only one school,
02:54SMK Rantau Panjang,
02:56that we encourage these children
02:58to make the choice
03:00of examination today or tomorrow.
03:03So there is no question
03:05that they cannot attend the examination.
03:07To answer the question from the parliament member,
03:10I don't remember where Kuala Kerau was,
03:12who asked Kuala Kerau,
03:13who asked about the impact
03:15after we made this move,
03:19I would like to emphasize
03:20that today we received a report
03:22that the attendance of our children
03:24to all the examinations
03:26from yesterday to today,
03:27especially those affected by floods,
03:29was 99%.
03:31This shows that the process of saving them was successful,
03:35the process of releasing the emotions was successful,
03:38because those who did not achieve
03:40this 100%
03:42will take the examination
03:45either tomorrow or the day after
03:47until the end of the five days of the month.
03:49So we have arranged
03:50and this attendance
03:51that we want to ensure
03:53that they can answer
03:55and also attend the examination safely.
03:58Overall,
04:00the attendance of our children
04:03as of the first day
04:04was 99%.
04:06So where are the children who are not present,
04:09we will arrange
04:11to ensure that they can come
04:13the day after tomorrow
04:14until the end of the day
04:16to ensure that no one is affected
04:18in the examinations,
04:20especially those related to the SPS examinations.
