00:00 Can you comment on the change in the opposition's draft?

00:05 A bit lower, sorry.

00:07 In the recent PM's meeting, Dato' Sri Fadillah gave an explanation.

00:16 He said there was no draft given to the opposition and no draft was accepted by the opposition.

00:27 His meeting with the opposition's representative, including the new opposition leader,

00:33 was only to hear their views on the proposals and suggestions that could be given together.

00:42 So there was no draft, as mentioned by the opposition leader,

00:47 and also as reported in the FMT news,

00:53 by the former parliament member, Ulu Terengganu, Dato' Rosol.

00:57 So I can confirm that there is no draft.

01:02 What has happened so far is a discussion.

01:06 I'm not sure why the opposition leader used the word draft.

01:10 There is no draft.

01:12 So to the opposition members, I can refer to the opposition leader,

01:16 and confirm that there is no draft as mentioned.

01:20 But we at the government have investigated this discussion.

01:30 There are a few actions that we will follow,

01:35 including a discussion, not now, but later, at the leadership conference for the government.

01:47 When will the government meet with the opposition leader?

01:50 At this time, we have not received any substantive information from the opposition.

01:56 So we have to go back to the drawing board.

02:00 So if there are opposition members who feel that this discussion is a bit late or slow,

02:09 don't blame the government.

02:11 You have to ask the opposition leader why it is late.
