00:00About the statement of the Prophet Muhammad SAW on 5th of May,
00:05I was asked what the government has decided to end.
00:12I said, until today, it has not been completed.
00:17It means that the Ministerial Committee's task
00:20to end the subsidized diesel pollution
00:23has not been done.
00:26So that's what I answered.
00:28There is no delay.
00:29And the next week, it can be postponed.
00:32It can be adjusted for the next week.
00:37Then, it will be announced a month after that.
00:40There is no delay at all.
00:42The question now is, is there a possibility
00:46for the future?
00:48I do not deny any possibility.
00:51What I can say now,
00:53our entire focus now
00:55is the reduction of subsidized diesel.
00:58Any government,
01:00the subsidized diesel pollution,
01:01there is no need to turn it back.
01:03At the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW,
01:06everyone wanted to do subsidized diesel pollution.
01:09The subsidized diesel pollution was mentioned by all Ministers,
01:12including the Ministers who were supported by the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
01:16So, do not raise this as wrong
01:18in terms of the basis of subsidized diesel pollution.
01:21Therefore, the implementation,
01:22we take it more seriously.
01:24If there is a weakness, we fix it.
01:26If there is a need to fix it, we fix it.
01:29So, we do not say that we are perfect.
01:31Because subsidized diesel pollution is something that is easy to implement.
01:36If you ask me,
01:37we should have implemented RON 95 a long time ago.
01:40But it is not easy.
01:41Because,
01:42the problem is,
01:433.8 million foreigners take this oil.
01:47Rich people who use Rolls-Royce also use this oil
01:51that we subsidize.
01:53But how to solve it?
01:55For years,
01:56the members of the Cabinet have discussed this issue.
01:59But it is difficult to solve it.
02:01It is the same as we are facing now.
02:03But the question is the principle.
02:05Is subsidized diesel pollution
02:07a wise decision for the economy?
02:10Everyone agrees.
02:13Although in the campaign, we disagree.
02:15Only the implementation can be determined.
02:19I ask,
02:20who, which government, which party,
02:22does not agree with subsidized diesel pollution?
02:24Everyone in the government agrees.
02:26They agree.
02:27Good.
02:28But wait.
02:29We are not ready yet.
02:31Because they know
02:33the effect of the political temperature
02:35that will be heated.
02:37I just want to ask,
02:38when you were in power,
02:40you said subsidized diesel pollution was necessary.
02:42Now you say it is not necessary.
02:44That is different.
02:45If you say,
02:47it is necessary,
02:48but it must be more wise to implement it.
02:51Okay.
02:52I can accept it.
02:53I ask,
02:54how can it be more wise?
02:55It can be.
02:56But now, what is happening is
02:58subsidized diesel pollution.
02:59Subsidize it.
03:00Subsidize it.
03:01It is cruel.
03:02The price is the government.
03:04Tomorrow, the oil price will go down.
03:05That is what I heard.
03:09Yes.
03:10I will repeat it.
03:13Yes.
03:14In March,
03:15I was still in school.
03:17Okay.
03:18But in March,
03:19when I did that,
03:20although the government said no,
03:22when I did that,
03:23all the campaigns,
03:25justice,
03:26PAS,
03:27all were for that.
03:29When I went to Kelantan,
03:31you have to listen,
03:32you were not in Kelantan at that time.
03:34When I went to Kelantan,
03:36I forgot to mention that.
03:38It was in the message.
03:39Oil, oil, oil.
03:41Yes.
03:43But now,
03:44as I mentioned,
03:46it is okay.
03:47I accept it.
03:48No problem.
03:49Did I mention it first?
03:50Yes, I mentioned it.
03:51But I have told you,
03:53the price of oil at that time in Saudi was 50 cents.
03:57Our price was 2.5 cents.
03:59I knew it.
04:02Try to repeat it in Bakar River.
04:04Are you safe?
04:06Okay.
04:07So, this is about subsidizing.
04:10So far,
04:11so far,
04:12there is no basic paper
04:15that can lead us
04:17to implement it quickly.
04:19I can tell you that.
04:20There are studies from the past.
04:24But we think it is better
04:26to look at the steps taken first.
04:29Electricity,
04:30chicken,
04:31diesel exploration.
04:33Those three were done this year and last year.
04:35We look at the effects first
04:37and how the people react.
04:41Then,
04:42we are ready to discuss
04:45what is needed.
04:47But the important thing
04:48I don't want to confuse you.
04:52The important thing is
04:54we have to stop
04:57subsidizing for the rich
04:59and for the foreigners.
05:01I don't know about that.
05:02What is the principle?
05:04We have to think about it
05:05so that we don't burden the people.
05:07Don't subsidize
05:09for the rich
05:11and for the foreigners
05:13as we have been doing
05:15for decades
05:16because no government
05:18is willing to deal with it.
05:20Thank you.
