00:00 Lastly, 0204000 LPPKN.
00:04 I have raised concerns about the increase in the number of Malaysians
00:10 who are called "the late-married" or "the single-married".
00:14 And this is a very serious situation.
00:17 If we look at the Bancampedut report in 2010,
00:21 the Malaysian Police Department had more than 5.56 million men
00:25 and women aged over 30 years and above
00:28 who were called "the late-married", "the single-married" and "the single-married".
00:34 Women were 4.8 million, a very large number.
00:38 Men were 739,000.
00:41 And if we look at the marriage rate,
00:44 the rate of marriage in Kuangan is the highest, 56%.
00:48 There are no suitable husband candidates, 18.4%.
00:52 The rate of success is 9.4%.
00:54 I want to say that when our country is sensitive about polygamy,
00:59 when we talk about polygamy, it's like committing a crime.
01:02 I think the Ministry needs to be rational in this issue.
01:06 For those who are able to have clients and act fairly,
01:10 moral support needs to be given.
01:13 We can imagine 8.4 million unmarried women.
01:17 Even though that is not the ultimate solution.
01:19 But I think this issue can be brought forward
01:26 to solve the problem of unmarried women.
01:29 I think there are many people there who support me.
01:31 Thank you.
01:32 Because the idea is to be considered by the Ministry.
01:37 Thank you.
01:38 Can we have one or two clients?
01:40 Yes, as far as the ability is concerned, up to four.
01:42 No, can we have one or two clients?
01:44 I support this idea.
01:50 As far as the ability is concerned, up to four.
01:52 If you are able, go ahead.
01:55 Even though I am still one, there are three who are still unmarried.
01:59 I am waiting.
02:01 Maybe we can move forward together.
02:03 Thank you.
02:04 Thank you, Mr. President.
02:07 One interesting thing.
02:10 I was reading about the family welfare index
02:15 that was conducted in 2022.
02:19 In the study, the family welfare index was 7.93
02:24 from the maximum score.
02:26 The highest score was the family relationship score
02:31 with 8.44.
02:33 The lowest score was the family economy score, 6.90.
02:39 But when it comes to polygamy, I do not agree with it at this time.
02:44 Because we have built another sub-facility centre in Sya Alam
02:51 and we hope that there will be an increase in the number of our programmes.
02:57 Thank you, Minister.
02:58 Can I answer later?
03:00 I want to speak about what you have been proposing.
03:04 You must not be left behind.
03:06 Thank you.
03:08 I want to speak about the regulation.
03:10 I want to speak about the regulation.
03:13 It is still 36.4.
03:15 Because I feel that it is a mistake for the government officials
03:19 to use vulgar language or make a sexy statement.
03:24 I think what was said by the Ministry of Labor is very sexy.
03:29 Why is it a problem for women not to get married?
03:32 Why is it a problem for women to get married late?
03:35 But for men, getting married late is not a problem that needs to be addressed by our society.
03:42 Secondly, this is a problem for...
03:46 I think it does not need to be prolonged.
03:48 I think...
03:49 I think this is not a sexist issue.
03:50 I said that the fact is that the financial source is 56% of not getting married.
03:55 The husband's salary is 18.4%.
03:58 The job is 94%.
04:00 It is not a sexist issue.
04:02 It is a sexist issue because it is a problem.
04:06 What is the problem?
04:07 The problem is that women are not getting married.
04:10 That is not a problem that needs to be addressed.
04:14 Secondly, I think that it is a violation of polygamy.
04:22 This is very impolite.
04:24 It is very offensive.
04:26 The wife is not only a member of parliament but also a woman out there who is a wife.
04:34 What is their feeling when we have a member of parliament?
04:38 They clearly said that we need to be more strict on polygamy.
04:42 I think we need to be 8.4%...
04:44 I think the members of the KU should withdraw their proposal.
04:51 What is he going to withdraw now?
04:53 What is he going to withdraw?
04:54 This is not a question.
04:55 This is very offensive to the members of parliament.
05:00 It is very sexist.
05:02 I think that this kind of culture should not be continued in this parliament.
05:07 Do not bully women because we are not having enough votes.
05:13 We only have 13%.
05:16 Maybe we do not have enough votes.
05:18 But this is a form of bullying and sexism.
05:21 I think that this is a question that should be addressed to the members of parliament.
05:25 I would like to ask the members of parliament to withdraw their proposal.
05:28 I will not withdraw it.
05:30 I would like to refer back to my statement.
05:33 I said that 4.8 million women are married and 736,000 men are married.
05:37 That was in 2010.
05:39 This is a statistic that the government has released.
05:42 What is the plan of the ministry?
05:44 We are worried that the next generation will come,
05:46 more unmarried women will be affected by the country's economic development.
05:51 This is not a sexist question.
05:53 This is a question of the plan of the ministry.
05:56 I think that we should not talk about polygamy.
05:59 It is not just polygamy.
06:02 But also, unmarried women are not a problem.
06:07 I think we need to respect the personal choice of other people.
06:12 Do not say that this is a problem.
06:14 Ms. Puchong, can you make an effort if you think that this is a sexist question?
06:20 Because I am not the one who...
06:22 Thank you, Madam Chair.
06:24 Our plan is already there.
06:27 It was just yesterday that we had a roundtable.
06:32 But I said that the roundtable was not enough.
06:34 We need physical activities to complement the roundtable.
06:38 God willing, it will be shown at the beginning of next year.
06:42 What are the plans to increase the fertility rate.
06:49 We do not have a plan.
06:51 For now, I said that I do not agree.
06:53 Thank you.
06:55 [END]
