00:00What is the government's action now to solve this problem?
00:08According to the decision of the Supreme Court on 23 October,
00:15more than 200 acres of land will be reacquired to SESB.
00:25Therefore, it is impossible for us to demolish the mosque of SESB in the year 2000
00:31before this case is brought to court.
00:34In all levels of the court, the government has lost.
00:37The Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the SESB,
00:40and now the order is for Odom Mendemas to re-implement it.
00:46So that's what I want to know.
00:49What is the best step?
00:51Let's pray for this case to be solved and I hope to get an explanation from you.
00:58Thank you, Mr. President.
01:00Thank you for the explanation.
01:02I don't want to refer to the decision of the Minister when he became the Minister
01:10because I don't think the amount given is too much, too high.
01:18This is a precedent.
01:20A lot of land in Kuala Lumpur and Pulau Pinang was taken,
01:24even though technically, legally, it is different.
01:27But it was taken and then moved to be commercial next week by Exco.
01:33What is their situation?
01:36So we don't have a double standard here.
01:39On the other hand, we give a very decent settlement.
01:42Even though it is hundreds of thousands of acres of land.
01:45In Pulau Pinang, a lot of people are wondering what we are doing.
01:51Because a lot of land was taken, the price was RM2,000 per acre,
01:57then two weeks later, Exco made a decision to change it to industrial to commercial
02:03with an increase in price.
02:05And these people don't have access.
02:08Yes, technically, from a legal point of view, it is different.
02:12But the leaders of the country must be consistent.
02:18Don't think that one case is separate from the interests of the country as a whole.
02:23What we do in this ruling is to be patient.
02:26It is true that RM1.4 million was taken in the early stages,
02:31but then it was rejected.
02:33In the early stages, the court did not allow it.
02:37Only after 2009 did the high court decide to allow it.
02:45So the court's decision changed.
02:49But now the court's decision is not final
02:53because we are still arguing about the court's decision to move properties.
02:58It is still on the list.
03:00So it is up to the State Prosecutor's Office in this case.
03:05What are the steps to be taken?
03:08The Chief Justice has held two meetings with them
03:12to provide land that has not yet been built,
03:17to be handed over,
03:19and on the condition that it works with government companies.
03:23And the benefits will also be great.
03:26What I want to say to this noble court is
03:30we have to remember that our decision to lose this case
03:35is easy.
03:37It means opening up space for the people,
03:42especially the Malay villages in the city that were taken.
03:45Why don't we link it?
03:48So if we give up easily,
03:52as it was decided by the previous High Court,
03:55I don't think it will solve the problem.
03:59We have to be firm in the principle that
04:01if it is taken for the purpose of the people,
04:03up until now, not even one inch has been taken
04:07to be built for private or commercial purposes.
04:11Everything is built for the government.
04:13Mosques, hikmah, and government complexes.
04:16Tennis courts.
04:18And because of that,
04:20I feel that space should be given to the government.
04:23I urge them
04:26that this is a government project since 1956.
04:30And if necessary,
04:32we can see how the Ministry of State is doing now,
04:36to investigate the aspect of legislation
04:38so that the laws are tightened,
04:41the public interest cannot be sacrificed.
04:44Because if we compromise on this,
04:47don't get me wrong,
04:48then all the lands,
04:51especially the Malay lands in the city,
04:53will be renewed.
04:55And if we are willing to pay Rp 560 billion,
04:58we can start solving the way suggested earlier.
05:02Because of that, we, as the Ministry of State,
05:04we do not agree with that legislation.
05:06I urge and make it clear to them
05:08that they will get compensation far higher than Rp 1.4 billion.
05:12But we cannot assume that this is easy.
05:16Because this is not only an issue of the technicalities of the law,
05:20but also an issue of the principles of the development of the state and public interest.
