00:00I mean, earlier there was also talks that this is on Perli and Tina.
00:05We understand that they have not yet signed the contract moving forward.
00:10So, has there been any discussions so far?
00:13Okay, I'll tell you what. I mean, I'm sure I know there is some write-up then here.
00:17Well, it is true they have not signed the contract yet.
00:20We are in the discussion. So, a matter of time, I think, should be sorted out.
00:25Is there a time frame, Datuk, for this?
00:27Would you say that maybe after the Sudirman Cup, before the Malaysian Masters or something?
00:32I won't say an exact time frame.
00:36Because we also give some leaf-away for the players to think carefully.
00:39We have no issue.
00:41Sometimes players, you know, maybe they have some advice.
00:44So, let them think no harm.
00:46But they are with us. They are still with us, no issue.
00:50Okay?
00:51So, Datuk, can you see BM are hoping that they will sign the contract and continue with BM?
00:56Well, that is the purpose of us, investing in players from the younger days.
01:02All these players, money was invested by BAM.
01:06And also, of course, earlier days, by the states.
01:10And the states, it is BM who actually channel money to the states also, to support the states, to develop all players.
01:17So, when they come to BM, BM continue in investing them.
01:21And you know, our investment is not just a small amount of money.
01:25It's a very large sum of money we invest on players.
01:28And the expectation is what?
01:29Our expectation is, they continue to stay on, play, train hard, work hard, and win medals for the country.
01:36You know, that's what they are supposed to do.
01:39So, that's what our expectation is, nothing else.
01:42So, we are taking care of them very well.
01:45That I think all of you know.
01:47So, all we need is now, they produce medals for the country.
