00:00My question is, is the government willing to move forward to establish a line of clothing guidance specifically for Muslim women's athletes,
00:11so that this sport can be participated by many women without them having to compromise the culture and religion of our fifth country,
00:21which is prosperity and well-being. Thank you.
00:26Thank you, Your Honour. I understand your concern.
00:36There are two aspects I see here. The first is related to the issue of women's development in the sport,
00:43which we, especially through the leadership of the Honourable Minister of Sport,
00:54we always implement many basic principles that involve the empowerment of women in the sport.
01:04For example, throughout this year and last year, we have been actively holding women's seminars in the sport.
01:13We also have an agenda called Women's Equipment in the Sport.
01:17We can see the role played by many former women's athletes to ensure that we do not undermine these women's development programmes.
01:28The second aspect is the issue of ethical co-ordination, such as clothing, charity and so on.
01:34In fact, if we look at the clothing requirements in our country, we do provide a pathway for any sponsor
01:44to put in place a certain number of clothing requirements and so on,
01:51especially if it is sponsored by a country.
01:54If we look at the example of several countries, for example, in Terengganu,
01:58there is a sponsorship involving women where we do not have an obstacle when it comes to the clothing requirements.
02:06This has become a compromise between all of us.
02:15Because the holder of the clothing requirements is not limited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
02:19We also look at the country's sponsors.
02:22We also look at the organizations that are at the top of the list.
02:26Every country, every place, every region has its own way.
02:30As long as it does not undermine the performance of athletes,
02:34and is approved by everyone, we will always consider the best path.
02:41We do not have a negative view of the clothing requirements.
02:48If we look at the athletes in our country, they are free to wear what they want,
02:51according to their needs and desires.
02:55Some meet the requirements, some do not.
02:59It is up to us.
03:01If there is a country that meets the requirements,
03:03we allow it to be discussed and informed first.
