00:00 When I saw this, I went home early yesterday

00:03 From 5am to 6pm

00:05 I was ready to go to the parliament

00:09 Because there was a question

00:12 I had to answer to the Prime Minister

00:14 I called him "Prime Minister's Question Time"

00:17 The first question was about Palestine

00:20 And I said, "Yes, we are determined"

00:25 "Not firm"

00:27 "Here"

00:29 I happened to be sitting in the meeting of the heads of state

00:35 20 people, in front of the President of the United States

00:39 On my right, the head of state, Lincoln

00:43 I had no choice

00:46 Because in my mind

00:51 I remembered

00:53 Mothers

00:54 Children

00:57 Houses

01:00 Land

01:02 That was destroyed

01:04 And the children were killed

01:08 And this, in the 32 million Malaysians

01:13 It's not easy for a spokesperson in front of the President of the United States

01:19 Coincidentally

01:21 I got a chance

01:23 I could have gone the safe way, in a good diplomatic way

01:27 I could have sought a good advisor

01:29 I could have sought a diplomatic cooperation

01:31 I could have sought peace

01:33 I could have said that

01:35 But I chose to say

01:37 "I can, even if I want to kill someone who is waiting"

01:41 "Even if it is not pleasant and pleasant to hear"

01:43 I said

01:45 The Russian-Ukrainian war

01:47 The West asked us

01:50 To condemn Russia

01:54 Because it invaded Ukraine

01:57 And women and children were killed

02:02 I said, "What's wrong with that?"

02:05 In the Palestinian question

02:07 We don't see it from that point of view

02:10 It's inconsistent

02:11 It's a mess

02:13 Then I said

02:17 Don't force all countries

02:24 To follow the orders of big powers

02:29 Especially those who are prejudiced against Islamophobia

02:37 I said

02:39 You cannot dictate the language of discourse

02:45 It means, don't you dictate

02:50 The language and speech

02:54 And voice

02:57 We, even though we are small

02:59 We don't have a large army

03:03 But we have dignity

03:05 We are a sovereign country

03:08 And we have the value of humanity

03:12 Because Allah made us

03:14 Even though we are small

03:16 We have the value of humanity

03:19 So I said

03:21 Stop killing women and children

03:28 And stop it now

03:31 Because one day

03:34 There will be more people

03:37 Including babies and children

03:39 Who will be sacrificed

03:41 for the sake of Islamophobia

03:46 [BLANK_AUDIO]
