00:00The market needs confidence. Why flip-flop?

00:05Okay.

00:06In this trade war, that's what I want to say.

00:08Okay, thank you.

00:09What I want to say is about energy.

00:11Yesterday, I heard that speech.

00:13The problem is, I heard it with a feeling of hatred.

00:17I said, may I respond.

00:20What I said yesterday.

00:21May I respond to the call by Dato' Ng, OCCCIM.

00:27I'm responding to his request.

00:30What is his request?

00:31Increase tariffs for the industry.

00:34Do you understand?

00:35Not for the country, not for the people.

00:38And I said, that's not even 14%.

00:44As announced.

00:46Okay.

00:47It means my response is to the industry.

00:49Because increasing tariffs to the industry.

00:54To the rich.

00:55To the rich.

00:56What do we want to defend?

00:57If it's not enough for the rich.

00:59We want to increase it for schools, hospitals.

01:02Where does the money come from?

01:04So, we have to accept the reality.

01:06Increase the tariffs for the industry and the rich.

01:10And I said in front of the businessmen yesterday.

01:13We will not decline.

01:15We have to increase it.

01:16But not involving 85% of the people.

01:21Listen.

01:22Listen with a lot of sentiment.

01:25This is a problem.

01:26This is a disease.

01:27Not a disease.

01:28It's an economic factor.

01:29So, I want to explain here.

01:31This is the reality.

01:33What TNB said in general.

01:35We have already said that.

01:36This is a general reality.

01:38I said, we should clarify.

01:41What is it for the category to be increased?

01:44I reiterate.

01:46Increase the electric bill for the industry.

01:50Will happen.

01:51According to the ICPT.

01:54Starting July.

01:5585% of the people.

01:58Will not be affected by this increase.
