00:00 The last example is about subsidies.
00:06 Malaysia is one of the countries that provides the most subsidies in the world.
00:11 There is no harm in providing subsidies to help the poor.
00:16 There is no need to be apologetic for the defence.
00:19 But, Malaysia is also one of the countries that provides the most subsidies to the rich and the foreigners.
00:29 There is no need to be apologetic.
00:32 So, in the first news, the tariff on electricity was increased.
00:40 To whom?
00:42 To the 15% of the richest people in Malaysia.
00:45 I think in this parliament, there is no one who is using electricity.
00:50 Maybe the Prime Minister and the Minister of Internal Affairs.
00:53 That is because of our responsibility.
00:56 The government provides the official house, so the electricity is increased.
01:00 If the house is in the river, maybe it will be a disaster.
01:04 So, 85% of the people are not affected.
01:10 Only the rich and the foreigners are not paying the tax.
01:18 Including the people's welfare.
01:24 How much can we save?
01:31 4.5 billion ringgit per year.
01:35 That means, every year for decades,
01:39 we have to pay a subsidy to the rich and the foreigners.
01:47 That is called a rationalisation subsidy.
01:57 Why should we be angry?
02:00 Because we cannot continue the subsidy.
02:02 If we continue, it will be 4.5 billion ringgit per year.
02:08 But, if we withdraw the subsidy,
02:15 we will not be able to save 85% of the people.
02:21 Instead, the subsidy will be 10 billion ringgit.
02:30 9 million people will receive the subsidy.
02:33 With the amount of 10 billion ringgit.
02:38 All of this is a new thing.
02:42 The chicken we eat now,
02:47 is a part of our system of sustainability.
02:52 We pay 100 million ringgit per month.
02:56 1.2 billion ringgit for the chicken we eat.
03:02 Including 5-star hotels.
03:05 I don't know why they don't give subsidies.
03:08 Including 5-star hotels in Kuala Lumpur,
03:12 and the rich people who buy chicken.
03:14 All of this is with government subsidies.
03:17 1.2 billion ringgit per month.
03:21 A few months ago, we withdrew the subsidy.
03:25 But, we call on everyone to make sure
03:31 that the price is not increased to overcharge the people.
03:40 What is the result?
03:42 The price is controlled.
03:44 In fact, the price of chicken is the first time in history
03:48 that I remember since I was a financial scholar.
03:52 The price of chicken has not risen.
03:55 Before that, I thought that I was the ruler,
03:59 who controls the price of food.
04:01 That means, we expect that before Eid,
04:06 the price of food will rise,
04:08 and the government will pay additional subsidies.
04:11 That's automatic.
04:12 The government is not the ruler who controls the price.
04:14 The ruler is the one who helps control the price of food.
04:18 This year, we save 1.2 billion ringgit
04:22 for the price of chicken to be controlled.
04:26 And now, we announce the subsidy.
04:30 What is the use of the subsidy?
04:35 Because I want to show that
04:37 the human being, the benevolence of God,
04:42 as a ruler,
04:44 I do not want to introduce
04:47 a new instrument of bargaining that burdens the people.
04:52 So, if we introduce what I call subsidy bargaining,
05:01 diesel, because diesel is a billion ringgit,
05:05 that's the one that is a billion ringgit.
05:07 What we pay to the rich,
05:10 big industries,
05:12 which profits 1 billion,
05:14 we still subsidize the electricity.
05:18 And the foreigners do not pay taxes,
05:21 35-38 million people do not pay subsidies.
05:26 So, we will introduce a system
05:29 so that big companies, the rich pay,
05:33 and foreigners pay.
05:37 How to treat a small village?
05:41 Grab drivers and taxi drivers,
05:45 and school bus drivers,
05:48 all of them are excluded.
05:52 Hundreds of thousands of people,
05:55 and maybe 1 billion ringgit,
05:57 will be excluded.
05:59 So, if the village is a fisherman,
06:01 a small farmer,
06:03 who needs diesel for planting,
06:08 will be excluded from the subsidy.
06:11 That's the approach we have.
06:13 I explain this,
06:15 because this will be an issue,
06:19 and I want to make it clear,
06:21 it is not in conflict with the thoughts and ideas of the people.
06:27 Another thing that needs to be clarified,
06:31 I want to make it clear,
06:34 so that it can be better understood,
06:36 as it has been used since yesterday,
06:38 by the people and the government.
06:42 So, I just...
06:44 Why is he writing a test?
06:47 He is writing a report, Ramna Bani Adam.
06:58 But, I just want to make it clear.
07:02 I want to say thank you,
07:05 to the leaders of this country,
07:08 to the leaders of Wadah and Yasan Awam,
07:10 who continue to run this program,
07:13 and I hope it can be run in other countries,
07:16 even though, I have to tell you,
07:19 that the situation is also very difficult,
07:23 and I have to make it clear.
07:25 I still don't understand,
07:27 among students,
07:30 especially religious leaders,
07:33 so that it is not confused,
07:35 the need to bring this issue,
07:38 starting with the law.
07:41 This is the government's job.
07:44 Governance.
07:45 The government.
07:46 It is not a group of ordinary people,
07:49 who can give orders.
07:51 But, for the government,
07:53 it must clarify the issue,
07:56 the principle of good governance.
07:59 And the leadership must be ensured,
08:04 to comply with a few main principles.
08:07 The main one,
08:08 to protect the property of the people and the country,
08:12 so that it can benefit the people.
08:16 Thank you.
08:17 [END]
