00:00We have lost a figure, the architect of our country.
00:11I have a close relationship with Mr. Daim.
00:17I always meet him unofficially.
00:23He always invites me to talk and so on.
00:26His house is not far from my house in Malawati.
00:29I live in Kaki Bukit, Malawati.
00:34He has a surau in his house.
00:37In the month of Ramadan, there is always a tarawih prayer.
00:42So, in short, I can say that Malaysia's success
00:53In the time of Tun Mahathir as Prime Minister, 22 years ago,
00:57the person behind him was Tun Daim, the main architect.
01:01So that's why I'm not surprised when Tun said
01:06that he has lost a very close and close friend
01:11and has contributed a lot to the country.
01:14So, to all of us, the people of Malaysia, especially him,
01:20and the question of who he is more than that,
01:23only Allah SWT knows.
01:26For us, what we see is that his contribution is not a little to the country.
01:33So, congratulations and let's pray together.
01:38May Allah SWT forgive his sins
01:42and also put his soul among the surahs in Alam Barzah.
01:49I and him, together with Tengku Razali, Tan Sri Syed Hamid,
01:57and several other parties,
02:02shared a challenging time at that time.
02:08And I once worked with him in UMNO,
02:14in the field of finance or accounting,
02:19and we were able to accumulate some experiences
02:24related to his character.
02:27One of them is that Tun Daim is a very meticulous person
02:34in terms of managing party finances
02:37and also as a finance minister.
02:43I still remember in the challenging times of 1997 and 1998,
02:54he has explained what I consider as capital inclusion
03:02without inspection and without burden
03:06to overcome the financial crisis at that time.
03:10And that crisis was a crisis that led to a conflict
03:15between Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Tun Dr. Mahathir.
03:20On one hand, Tun Daim, at that time,
03:25Mr. Daim, who is respected,
03:28ensured that Malaysia allowed the capital of the place to be brought in without interest.
03:35So all the savings of foreign investors
03:39went back to Kuala Lumpur without any questions.
03:44And this money amounted to almost Rp. 28 billion at that time.
03:51That is why Malaysia did not borrow from the International Monetary Fund.
03:59Another thing is that I can say that Daim does not like publicity.
04:06He prefers to work.
04:08And we say,
04:10وَإِنَّ اللَّهُ طَيِّبًا
04:12for Daim.
04:13And we hope with his soul in the mercy of Allah.
