00:00There is, like when we say, I remember, reform, especially education.
00:07Among the things I emphasize, other than improving the Malay language,
00:11because this is a necessity in our country's system that has been agreed upon for a long time,
00:19is to give a little incentive,
00:23to make sure that the mastery of English as a second language is good enough among the students,
00:31especially the middle class.
00:34Then, according to the usual guidelines, it will be scheduled,
00:40then our decision is 2023,
00:42it will be scheduled in 2024,
00:45it will be decided in 2025,
00:48the testing plan will be launched in 2026,
00:56in 2027 it will be launched,
00:59in 2028 it will be implemented.
01:02It can't be like that.
01:04Such a plan is a long-term plan.
01:07If now we decide in 2023,
01:10the launch and implementation must be in 2024.
01:15In 2025, the requirements will be developed.
01:18I don't deny the difficulties and difficulties
01:22because of the restrictions in our system,
01:26the flow and the teacher's training.
01:30But if we follow the old rules, we will be left behind.
01:35That's the issue.
01:36How do we choose?
01:38If we want to implement it quickly, there is a problem.
01:41If we don't implement it quickly, we lose.
01:45So, between these two factors,
01:51we have to move our troops to think and act
01:57with the resolution needed to save our country.
02:02There is no choice.
02:04This is not a matter of my pleasure to force things to be accelerated or delayed.
02:10But because I have seen abroad
02:17and learned humility
02:21to see their weaknesses and strengths,
02:25what they can do with resolution,
02:29and why we can't.
