00:00Regarding a suggestion that was raised by a parliamentarian from Raup regarding the Minister of Religious Affairs
00:11being dismissed as reported by the media from his speech in the parliament.
00:16This matter has been discussed in today's meeting and this matter has never been raised.
00:23It has never been discussed. In fact, his own party, his own party leaders said that
00:31it was not the party's decision, but it was his own decision as a parliamentarian.
00:38So, it was not the party's decision. The cabinet has never raised this matter.
00:43In fact, at this time, the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs indeed has a mechanism,
00:48the Department of Harmony, which gathers representatives from various religions in Malaysia
00:56to discuss issues related to parliament.
01:00So, I think his suggestion did not arise and there is no need.
