00:00Last but not least, the Minister of Religious Affairs.
00:03Today, he mentioned that there is a guideline for Muslims to attend religious ceremonies.
00:13I see that this comment is mixed up.
00:16But I want to remind you.
00:18Maybe many still remember that the Chinese New Year is a religious ceremony.
00:24Actually, it is a cultural event.
00:26So, where is it? The Minister of Religious Affairs or the Minister of Culture?
00:30Because the Chinese New Year is like today.
00:32It is the celebration of Hokkien people.
00:35This is the first holiday.
00:37But last night, we invited our Malay friends to our house.
00:41And we have set up a place to pray.
00:44But we didn't ask the Muslims to pray.
00:46But this is not a prayer.
00:48This is a cultural event.
00:52How do we make a clear guideline?
00:55The most important thing is the harmony of the people.
00:58We are in a context where the society is oppressed.
01:02We have to maintain the harmony of the society and the people.
01:05So, I ask the government to do the same thing.
01:09Discuss it with the cabinet.
01:11Discuss it with the cabinet first.
01:13Then we can discuss it.
01:14If we don't make an ad hoc announcement like this,
01:16there will be all kinds of reactions.
01:18If we attend a religious ceremony, we have to get permission from the government.
01:23If my relative passed away,
01:25I have a Muslim relative.
01:27He came and hugged me.
01:29Why? Because we are in the same family.
01:32So, culture and religion.
01:34How do we differentiate?
01:36Different perspectives.
01:38So, that is my request. Thank you.
01:40If you want to make a video, I can do it.
01:44I will make sure you are entertained by my video.
01:48Let's wait together. Thank you.
01:50I won't run away, son of a man.
01:53Thank you very much.
