00:00I have to mention this for the sake of the nation, for our youth in general.
00:19One of the major problems is bullying and drug use.
00:24Bullying is very worrisome and can lead to death.
00:30In fact, the effects do not stop there.
00:35Individuals involved in bullying, whether as perpetrators or victims,
00:42often bring the trauma to adulthood.
00:48It is worse for those who are used to bullying the perpetrator
00:56will become a habit that is easy to be removed,
01:05including at work or in social life.
01:10Do not be a person who spills salt into the wound.
01:15Only God knows the pain and suffering.
01:19This not only destroys individuals, but also threatens the harmony of society.
01:26If left to deteriorate, we will lose a lot of human capital.
01:33A university like MMU should be a place of positive social development,
01:42not a place of social discrimination.
01:48I hope this does not happen at MMU or other universities in Malaysia.
01:57Graduates,
01:59In addition to the bullying issue I mentioned earlier,
02:02drug use is also a serious challenge among students and young people.
02:10Drug users in Malaysia are increasing year-on-year.
02:16In fact, this year there was an increase of 31.6% with a total of 169,691 people.
02:28Unfortunately, most of them are young people
02:33who may only start smoking and vaping.
02:40Drug use is the number one enemy of the country
02:43because it has a great impact on individuals, families and society.
02:48Drug use not only damages health,
02:53but also weakens the potential of humans
02:56who should be contributors to the development of the country.
03:02As a student, you are on the front lines in fighting this threat.
03:09Do not be influenced by your fellow students
03:14to try something that looks fun,
03:19but it has serious consequences.
03:23Remember, a spark in a fire can be extinguished without realizing it.
03:31I hope that the Ministry of Education can take proactive action
03:41to address the problem of drug use,
03:46especially vaping,
03:49because this will have a negative impact on our young people in the future.
