00:00And is there a job scam syndicate issue that is seen to have no solution,
00:04will become Malaysia's burden as ASEAN's negotiator this year?
00:07Thank you, Tan Sri Speaker.
00:09Regarding the job scam issue raised by Tan Pin as well,
00:14it is also part of our main focus this year,
00:18even in the retreat of foreign ministers of ASEAN directly in Langkawi,
00:24this issue has just been raised,
00:26that we will make it a focus that will be discussed.
00:29We know that this issue has also been raised
00:33in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia,
00:37then it was also raised in Vintian, Laos.
00:41So this issue has also been raised this year,
00:43and we know that this has just happened.
00:46Tan Sri Speaker,
00:48there was an incident
00:53where Myanmar released almost 320 ASEAN citizens
01:05who were involved in the job scam in Myanmar.
01:07So how will we increase this cooperation?
01:10And indeed there is cooperation when they release this.
01:13And all my colleagues have been placed in Thailand,
01:17they are placed in Thailand through the National Referral Mechanism
01:24to check their identities,
01:28how far their involvement is,
01:30and also our citizens.
01:33God willing, after the process is completed,
01:35all these victims will be sent back to their respective countries.
01:40The point here is that this job scam issue will not be silent.
01:44As long as it is an ASEAN issue, it will also be raised and discussed,
01:48and we will find the best way
01:51to solve this more challenging problem this time.
01:54We will also increase the cooperation between ASEAN countries
01:59through ASEAN Chiefs of National Police,
02:01especially ASEANPOL.
02:02How do we counter the fraud syndicate
02:05and the job scam that is happening in Southeast Asia?
