00:00 Tachiaw, Vanakkam.

00:02 First, I would like to thank the media for being here today.

00:08 Today, I am in charge of the Presidential Cabinet.

00:17 Of course, the decision we have made today is a difficult one to accept.

00:28 But we respect the court's decision.

00:33 The Youth Party respects the court's decision.

00:37 At the same time, we believe that the court's decision still has a long way to go.

00:44 This is not the end of the case of the court of YB Said Saddiq.

00:49 He still has room to appeal in the Court of Appeal.

00:56 And also in the Supreme Court.

00:59 But I am happy to say that the struggle of YB Said Saddiq,

01:07 from the beginning he has been involved in politics,

01:10 and the struggle of the Youth Party is the same.

01:15 The struggle to strengthen all the most important institutions in the country.

01:21 The struggle to fight for the basics that are close to the hearts of the people.

01:27 And also the struggle to clean up politics.

01:31 We will continue to fight for that.

01:35 Even though YB Said Saddiq is the President of the Youth Party,

01:40 he is still a member of the Parliament representing the youth.

01:44 And he will continue to fight in the Parliament as a member of the Youth Party.

01:51 And I would like to say to the youth out there,

01:57 that today's decision is not a decision that weakens the youth.

02:03 But today's decision is a clear signal that the struggle of the youth still needs to be continued.

02:11 The struggle of the youth needs to be continued more than just one person.

02:17 As YB Said Saddiq always says, "The youth is bigger than Said Saddiq."

02:23 Any questions?

02:25 Q. Do you feel that this is a big burden for you?

02:29 A. Of course, any responsibility comes with a big burden.

02:35 Especially to fill, I would consider, very big shoes.

02:41 To fill big shoes from YB Said Saddiq is not easy.

02:44 But as I believe, it's not just a burden on me alone.

02:50 I believe that the youth is bigger than one person.

02:54 And together with other youths, we will be able to drive this party forward together.

03:00 Thank you.

03:06 Thank you.

03:08 Thank you.
