00:00Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:01Today is the decision
00:05for the RCI challenge
00:08that was made by Tun Dr Mahathir
00:10regarding the RCI Pulau Batu Putih.
00:12As everyone is aware,
00:14on the last day, the court has allowed
00:17to pass the judgment,
00:19leave or just the truth on one issue,
00:22which is section 18.
00:23Section 18 of the RCI Act 1950
00:26states clearly,
00:27all individuals who are affected
00:29or become the subject matter
00:31of an RCI
00:33must be allowed,
00:35must be allowed to present
00:37through the judge or himself
00:39to the entire RCI.
00:41So, when the court heard
00:43the substantive arguments
00:45on the last day,
00:46the court has determined
00:47for today's decision,
00:48we are present in the court,
00:50the court has refused to pass the judgment
00:53and the court did not give any reason,
00:55the court stated that
00:57the court will provide a written reason,
00:59the instruction from the judge is clear,
01:01we will appeal to the court
01:03and from time to time
01:05we will inform.
01:06We feel that
01:08this issue should not be
01:10an academic issue
01:11or has been resolved,
01:12because as all Malaysians know,
01:14this RCI issue
01:16has been brought to the parliament
01:18and clearly in the parliament,
01:20everyone can see and know
01:21and also hear clearly
01:23that the target of this RCI
01:25is none other than
01:26Tuan Dr Mahathir.
01:27Therefore, we feel that
01:29there is a need
01:30for us to appeal
01:31and God willing,
01:32in the near future,
01:33we will appeal.
01:35So today,
01:36on section 18,
01:38the court has stated
01:39there is no issue,
01:40the court has refused
01:41our request
01:42for the judgment,
01:44so we will go to the court
01:46to let the court
01:48decide the issue.
