00:00I invite the Honourable Masjid Tanah.

00:05Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker.

00:10Before I go, I would like to touch on the 13-1 agreement.

00:15There are still not enough people, 26 people, to attend this noble assembly.

00:23Yes, there are people, because the Honourable Deputy Speaker, there are two people.

00:2926 people must be counted.

00:37You are in this assembly, among the workers and defenders, you must be counted.

00:42Do not count one person.

00:4426 people must be counted.

00:56Not one person.

00:58Every effort, please sound the horn.

01:03Enough to say, Honourable Deputy Speaker.

01:06We are here.

01:07There is a meeting of the authorities that has just finished.

01:09No need to raise the regulation.

01:11We are here.

01:12There is a message.

01:14I do not understand why this issue must be raised, Madam Deputy Speaker.

01:19What is the problem?

01:20There is a message on both sides.

01:21Yes.

01:22Just now, Honourable Deputy Speaker, I only saw 10 people.

01:26We are only 10 people.

01:29It's the same thing.

01:30Honourable Deputy Speaker, you must see.

01:32The Masjid Tanah must see how many people are present.

01:34That is not a question.

01:35His question is not enough.

01:38Where is Bagoh?

01:39Where is the head of the government?

01:40He does not have enough.

01:44Honourable Deputy Speaker, I ask for the army to count again.

01:49If it is not enough, we will sound the horn.

01:53There is no regulation.

01:54The regulation is only for the head of the government.

01:56It does not make sense.

01:58It is only for the people of the government.

02:07Do not intimidate your friends.

02:38Honourable Deputy Speaker, calm down.

02:44Please sit down.

02:45It is enough.

02:46We are calm, Honourable Deputy Speaker.

02:49But the defenders are not calm.

02:51There are three of them but their voices are loud.

02:54How can this be?

02:55It is not fair.

02:56Thank you, Honourable Deputy Speaker.

02:57This is not fair.

02:58I did not touch any of the people.

03:01Honourable Deputy Speaker, listen.

03:02This is for information.

03:04Do not disturb my floor.

03:06Honourable Deputy Speaker, I am on your floor.

03:08Three minutes have passed.

03:09Honourable Deputy Speaker, please wait for three more minutes.

03:10Thank you, Honourable Deputy Speaker, for your presence.

03:13There are too many issues that I want to touch on.

03:16Honourable Deputy Speaker, please sit down.

03:21Please sit down.

03:22It is enough.

03:23We will continue our discussion.

03:27Honourable Deputy Speaker, we need to discuss this.

03:30Honourable Deputy Speaker, do you still not want to raise the issue of the three defenders?

03:36Let's be fair to the opposition and the government.

03:41This is just a raise.

03:43That is not the issue, Honourable Deputy Speaker.

03:45I want to continue my speech.

03:47It is enough.

03:49It is enough.

03:50Please sit down.

03:51No, Honourable Deputy Speaker.

03:52That is not the issue.

03:53That is not the issue.

03:54That is not the issue.

03:55That is not the issue.

03:56That is not the issue.

03:57Honourable Deputy Speaker, why did you raise the issue?

04:00When the opposition...

04:01Honourable Deputy Speaker, it is enough.

04:04This is a consultation.

04:06Anyone can raise the issue.

04:08Please sit down.

04:10We will continue our discussion.

04:12May I?

04:13Is everyone calm?

04:16Four more minutes have passed.

04:19Honourable Deputy Speaker, please don't raise the issue.

04:24A few weeks ago...

04:29Honourable Deputy Speaker, please don't raise the issue.

04:36This is my fault.

04:39Honourable Deputy Speaker, this is my fault.

04:40Honourable Deputy Speaker, you are disturbing the debate.

04:42This is my fault.

04:43This is what we agreed to in the consultation.

04:45I never wanted to raise the issue.

04:47But you have crossed the line.

04:49Honourable Deputy Speaker, I have a regulation

04:53Please sit down and don't disturb the debate.

04:58Okay?

05:02What is it, Mr. Jelutong?

05:04Honourable Deputy Speaker, this is not a matter of disturbing the debate.

05:08This is a matter of regulation.

05:09What regulation?

05:10Masjid Tanah should...

05:11What regulation?

05:12Regulation 36.6.

05:15What?

05:16Regulation 36.6.

05:20He said that it is not enough for you to make a bad assumption.

05:25We are here.

05:26Masjid Tanah should continue with the debate.

05:31If he wants to waste time, it is not his fault.

05:35Speaker...

05:36Enough, enough.

05:43Honourable Jelutong, you have violated the regulation

05:47and did not make a bad assumption.

05:50Yes, but...

05:51I have made a ruling.

05:53Please sit down and don't disturb the debate.

05:55I have regulation 37.2 so don't disturb the debate.

05:59Please sit down.

06:00Honourable Deputy Speaker, I agree and I accept.

06:02But if Masjid Tanah is given the opportunity to debate,

06:06continue with the debate.

06:08Don't raise the issue that it is not enough for you.

06:11That is just a bad assumption against other MPs.

06:14Those who attended the speech.

06:15I attended the speech just now.

06:18People outside will think that Jelutong is not present.

06:21Because he is important in the government.

06:22Jelutong has spoken.

06:23All Jelutong MPs are present.

06:26So please sit down.

06:27We will continue.

06:29Honourable Deputy Speaker, my time is up.
