00:00Aliyah Mohamad also asked about 1.2 million Chinese tourists who came in but did not go out.
00:08Okay, a number of Chinese tourists came in and then overstayed and so on.
00:12Today I want to explain where this 1.2 million came from.
00:16When Larut became Minister of the Interior, he answered a question from Tasik Lugo at that time.
00:23He said, the question was about 1.2 million.
00:28That was the beginning.
00:30That is an old legacy.
00:32Then, Larut said in a media statement,
00:36Larut said in a media statement,
00:39August 26, 2022,
00:41the number is not correct.
00:46Larut, not me.
00:48The head of the bank said that 1.2 million is not correct.
00:51The media.
00:53Ask the head of the bank, Larut.
00:56Don't ask me.
00:57Larut, wait a second.
00:59It's okay, sit down.
01:01I said, August 22, 2022,
01:05the Minister of the Interior said,
01:07the number is not correct, said the Minister of the Interior, Dato Sri Hamzah Zanuddin.
01:11It's not just him.
01:13Even before that, he stood up.
01:15And even Pagoh made the same statement.
01:18Sit there first.
01:21Then, there was an explanation from the Director of Immigration at that time.
01:25The number, he said,
01:27was only 8,000.
01:29He mentioned it here.
01:31Okay, today I want to explain.
01:33Okay.
01:35We,
01:38when tourists enter,
01:40they enter with a special pass.
01:43Social Security Pass.
01:45Okay.
01:46They also enter with other passports.
01:52That's clear.
01:53But,
01:54I want to explain.
01:55Many people in Kota Bharu ask,
01:57how many people enter and don't leave.
02:00I want to explain.
02:01The arrival from January 1, 2018 until November 30,
02:05tourists from the People's Republic of China.
02:078,461,653.
02:13Okay, the release is out.
02:158,012,294.
02:17What's the difference?
02:19479,359.
02:22Let's zoom in on this number.
02:24Out of 479,359,
02:28there was an active long-term passport holder.
02:31He entered with a long-term passport.
02:34He didn't leave.
02:36The total was 129,005 people.
02:39Okay.
02:40He was also in the Immigration Detention Depot.
02:42We arrested him.
02:43We arrested him.
02:44He had an immigration or passport violation.
02:47That's the total.
02:48We arrested him.
02:495,359.
02:51Because he committed a certain violation.
02:53A special pass has been issued.
02:55Special pass means,
02:56he entered for 30 days,
02:57visa free.
02:59He didn't leave on the 31st.
03:01But he got a special pass request.
03:03According to the current law,
03:05a person who entered,
03:07can still request a special pass.
03:09This is the same rule.
03:10The passport remains the same.
03:12The passport remains the same.
03:13Even now, I remain the same.
03:15He can request a special pass
03:17for 30 days,
03:1830 days,
03:1930 days.
03:20A maximum of 90 days.
03:22The total is 141,783.
03:26So,
03:27the special pass that hasn't been issued,
03:3084,817.
03:34Out of a total of 8,491,653.
03:4184,000 are still there.
03:43Alright.
03:44We want to mention,
03:45we have a Malaysian Digital Arrival Card,
03:47where they can fill in the information.
03:50This allows our authorities
03:52to enter and search for them.
03:55Okay.
03:56Then,
03:57this list of names,
03:58we leave it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
04:01When I visited China,
04:02I brought up this issue.
04:05My minister of foreign affairs told me,
04:07even if his people leave,
04:09even if he breaks the laws of his country,
04:12he can still take action.
04:14Our action is one,
04:16which is the blacklist.
04:17It's possible.
04:18Okay.
04:19So,
04:20let's stop this 1.2 million
04:22because
04:23even the head of the opposition said it's not true.
04:25There's no need to drag it out.
04:27So,
04:28what's terrible?
04:291.2 million didn't come out.
04:31The KDN passed the citizens illegally.
04:34That's a very terrible slander.
04:37Very terrible.
04:38It's better to stop it.
04:40Okay, let me share.
04:41How many citizens of China did we give?
04:44During the Pagoh,
04:45Larut,
04:46my time,
04:47and Semerung's time before that.
04:50I saw all the records.
04:52Including the time of the Dato'
04:54Dato' in the country,
04:55Semerung in the country,
04:56Pagoh,
04:57Larut,
04:58and me.
04:59Today,
05:00the number of citizens of China
05:02that we gave to the citizens
05:04according to Article 15.1 of the Covenant
05:08103 people.
05:10103, not 1.2 million.
05:14103.
05:18Secondly,
05:19what we gave to the citizens of China,
05:21we gave to the citizens of Malaysia
05:23under Category 19.1.
05:2619.1 means the husband of a foreigner
05:29married a local woman.
05:3215.1 means the wife of a foreigner
05:35married the husband of a local person.
05:3719.1 is the number of citizens of China
05:39that we gave to the citizens of the country.
05:41100 people.
05:42That's the number since 2013.
05:47This is a lie.
05:49Giving the citizens of the country a lie.
05:51Playing with sentiment.
05:52That's why when the report was made,
05:54playing with sentiment.
05:55We know.
05:56I have a number of police reports.
05:59Which leader played this issue outside,
06:01in the mosque,
06:02in the surau?
06:03That's why the police opened the investigation
06:05under Category 3.
06:06Without responsibility.
06:08Playing with sentiment.
06:09Because this is China.
06:11He played there.
06:13Now let the data speak.
06:15I say it clearly.
06:17First, 1.2 million,
06:19Pagos himself said,
06:21Larut also said,
06:22that's not true.
06:24Because what came in here,
06:26it came in with various types of PAS.
06:28PAS for history,
06:29PAS for students,
06:30PAS for long-term,
06:32all types of PAS that were named
06:34according to the Immigration Act.
06:35The same act that I enforced.
06:38Today,
06:39when I went abroad,
06:40I left the country.
06:41Okay.
06:42That's the story of 1.2 million
06:44and the citizens of China.
06:46Perfect. Do you want to stand up?
06:47You don't have to stand up.
06:48Stand up. Okay.
06:50Thank you, Mr. Minister,
06:52for talking about
06:55Chinese tourists.
06:57I also rose up in my speech.
06:59When I mentioned,
07:00it's not about the number,
07:01but in terms of their status.
07:03Because I noticed in my area,
07:05for example, in Sempurna,
07:06they are stuck.
07:07Even though they are recognized as tourists,
07:09but they become businessmen.
07:11And I have asked for cooperation
07:13from not only local officials,
07:15but also from the Immigration Department
07:18to take a firm action
07:20so that they don't only harm
07:22the existing businesses.
07:24This is what I repeatedly said in the parliament.
07:26But maybe those who respect,
07:28it's not about the number,
07:29but the actions,
07:30so that we can solve this problem.
07:32We don't want the voice in the parliament
07:34to be heard,
07:35but it's still around.
07:36Thank you very much.
07:38Thank you, Mr. Sempurna.
07:40I can only emphasize
07:42what happened in Sempurna.
07:43Indeed, in our observation,
07:45in our radar,
07:47of course,
07:49it's not only under the agency
07:51of the KDN.
07:52As you know,
07:53there are functions at the state level,
07:55local government, and so on.
07:56So,
07:58this must be the overall authority
08:00from us.
08:02Alright.
