00:00As stated by Confucius in the Analects of Longyue,
00:08guo e bu gai xi wei guo yi
00:16If there is a mistake and it is not corrected,
00:21then that is the real mistake.
00:24That is why we try to correct it.
00:26If you make a mistake and do not correct it,
00:29it is a true mistake.
00:31And the fatal mistake,
00:33according to Confucius,
00:35that has put us in a vicious circle,
00:39yi zhuo zai zhuo
00:50The Chinese understand.
00:52That is to repeat the same failure over and over again.
00:57In fact, the government needs to adapt
00:59and take approach to raise subsidies.
01:03So, to introduce the raising of subsidies,
01:06we take from the Quran, from Confucius,
01:08from the Analects of Longyue.
01:11This step will bring savings
01:15which can be spent for other interests.
01:19For example, when we implement the raising of electric subsidies,
01:23water tariff, chicken price, diesel subsidies,
01:27are now accepted better.
01:30But the water tariff is not a problem
01:34because all countries agree.
01:36And all countries implement it.
01:38Therefore, it should not be taken as a problem.
01:42In this approach,
01:44the government will defend the interests of the people.
01:49Every subsidy investment
01:51is to improve the efficiency of the raising of subsidies
01:55which benefits the elite of the rich and the foreigners.
02:08The reality that cannot be imagined is that
02:11the foreigners and 15% of the rich
02:17enjoy 40% of petrol subsidy RON 95
02:22worth Rp 8 billion.
02:25Rp 8 billion is the government subsidy
02:28from the people who raise subsidies
02:30to the elite of the rich and the foreigners.
02:33Therefore, it is better to use this Rp 8 billion
02:38for education, health, public transportation,
02:43including the original people.
02:46So far, the price of RON 95 in Malaysia is Rp 2.05
02:51compared to neighboring countries.
02:53Thailand, Rp 5.85.
02:56Indonesia, Rp 3.38.
02:59Singapore, Rp 9.02.
03:02Saudi Arabia, Rp 2.66.
03:06The low price causes the government to bear
03:09the amount of RON 95 subsidy in 2023
03:13to Rp 20 billion.
03:16However, the government is committed to retaining the subsidy.
03:20The government will retain the subsidy for the majority of the people
03:26such as electricity subsidy.
03:29This means that 85% of the people
03:33are not affected by the change in RON 95 subsidy.
03:38In order to avoid confusion,
03:41I emphasize once again that the subsidy payment
03:44is still continued for 85% of the people.
03:49The government will only...
03:52Therefore, for 85%,
03:56the government is forced to pay a subsidy
03:59estimated at Rp 12 billion for 85%.
04:05So, Rp 8 billion can be saved
04:08from the rich and foreigners.
04:12And I hope that no one in this court
04:14will represent the rich and foreigners.
04:18The government is committed to pay the RON 95 subsidy
04:22in mid-2025.
04:25In conclusion, I emphasize
04:28this subsidy will ensure benefits
04:32in education, health and welfare of the people.
