00:00I also propose this year, so that all the laws that we see have been passed through time,
00:12brought to the knowledge of the ministries, for us to re-evaluate the sharpness of the laws.
00:24Among the things that we have brought this year, from the context of the laws,
00:34the law on open gambling houses, which the government still needs to study,
00:45because the gambling environment has changed a lot.
00:48People see this gambling activity as solely PDRM's or KDN's purview.
00:57It's true as far as gambling is concerned, but there are also restrictions to other laws,
01:04which have fallen under other ministries, in the context of the premise of strengthening power
01:17in giving lessons to the premise, has fallen to the local authorities.
01:29In the context of passing the premise, PDRM has only asked for it from the perspective of safety.
01:40So, those who strengthen the premise, whether they pass the premise or not,
01:46have fallen to the local authorities.
01:49And then, the definition, for example, there are countries whose definitions are different from one country to another,
01:57in the context of the enactment of the country, in the context of the family entertainment centre,
02:03and the interactive entertainment centre.
02:06So, different states have different enactments.
02:09So, the effectiveness of PDRM in the context of this issue of gambling,
02:15that is its limitation.
02:18And today's gambling is already leaping into the cyber world,
02:28which is far more challenging for PDRM because it does not have a border.
