00:00The Perumahan project, as we know, took a long time and was successful because of the cooperation of all parties.
00:14That's why I always tell my friends, the Malays, the Chinese, the Indians, the Sarawak people, to be patient.
00:21If we want to move forward, we have to do well.
00:26This country must know that it has to take care of the city, the village, the estates, and the interior.
00:36We are the capitalists, we can make a profit, but we have to take care of the poor in the city and the poor in the estates.
00:47We can build the biggest house for the richest people, but we have to take care of the poor in the estates.
00:57How do we do it? We have to do it well.
00:59That's why I say, today's example is when we do it well.
01:06I asked you, everyone said yes, yes, yes.
01:14Respect for each other and discuss.
01:19And I thank Brother Kwameng because he took the initiative.
01:29How many ministers were replaced, but the project was not ready.
01:34But he heard from the estates, from the city, from the ministries, from the big companies.
01:45He brought the ministers and asked me.
01:48So when we discuss like that, we can solve it.
01:52So I want all of you, including the people of India, to understand this.
02:01Sometimes those who talk a lot, sometimes they have become politicians.
02:07There are many rich people, but they go around saying they haven't done it yet.
02:13I always ask, haven't done it yet?
02:18But when you were in power, what did you do?
02:21I always ask.
02:22The parliament on Monday was like that too.
02:25About paddy fields.
02:29People plant paddy, paddy fields, if it's in Selangor, it's okay too.
02:33Because the productivity is high.
02:35In Kedah, there are many poor people, in Kelantan, there are many poor people.
02:39So the government is angry.
02:41Someone showed anger.
02:45But when he was in power for 33 months, he didn't do anything.
02:49Not even one ringgit.
02:52When we were in 2023, it went up.
02:55In 2024, it went up.
02:57A few days ago, the Minister of Agriculture raised it again.
03:03So from 1,200, it went up to 1,500.
03:06How? By voting.
03:08Because when we are in power, we look for a way to solve it.
03:12Paddy fields, Malay people.
03:15Here, Indian people.
03:17I went to Ipoh, Chinese people.
03:21In Sarawak, Dayak.
03:23But that's not a question.
03:24If they need it, we help.
03:26How? By working together well.
