00:00 For example, Facebook is using social media platforms to sell cooking oil, which is a subsidy.

00:08 So what will you do?

00:11 What platform is this?

00:16 Marketplace Facebook.

00:18 I think this is a form of violation.

00:22 I haven't received a complaint and haven't contacted the KPDN.

00:29 But if God wills it, if I can provide this information,

00:33 we will extend it to the first party, the KPDN,

00:37 to see whether it is allowed or not to sell cooking oil in a packet like this,

00:45 in a polybag like this, online or elsewhere.

00:49 And secondly, if there is any violation,

00:52 I will contact the MCMC and the platform provider to proceed.

00:59 I think this is a serious matter.

01:02 And if there is any violation,

01:07 God willing, the authorities will not hesitate to act according to the law.

01:17 Will you act immediately?

01:18 Yes, God willing, we will act immediately.

01:20 We will follow up on this.

01:22 On the occasion of the National Day,

01:26 we have made a submission to Jalur Gemilang,

01:30 the Mendeka@Community Programme,

01:34 and submitted a petition to a number of local communities

01:40 in the Ulu Langat, Sepang and Kuala Langat Parliaments.

01:47 I have submitted a number of opinions and suggestions

01:52 for the local community,

01:55 not only as a means of communication,

01:58 but also as a means of communication for the Ministry of Education,

02:01 especially in the effort to resolve the internet problem in their respective areas,

02:06 and to stop or stop the widespread slander.

02:13 I hope that the local community in the three parliaments

02:20 will be able to reach the community through government efforts and initiatives,

02:27 and other efforts as well.

02:32 Thank you.
