00:00First of all, this is like when we study physics.

00:06Every action has an equal reaction.

00:09When you are constantly manipulating these topics,

00:14it feels like a lot of people are supporting you.

00:17Of course, I don't deny that there are some people who support Ackermann.

00:22But this incident also shows us that

00:25there are also a lot of people who don't like or are not satisfied.

00:29I think this is the maturity of Malaysia.

00:36I think that Ackermann, as the leader of the youth group,

00:40is not the first time he has shown this kind of discipline.

00:44The youth group has also shown this kind of behavior before.

00:49But we think that in this era,

00:53we really need to change and deal with problems more maturely.

00:58I believe that a lot of Buddhists also care about the problems he brings up.

01:03There is nothing wrong with that.

01:05Some of them are very sensitive.

01:07There is nothing wrong with that.

01:09There is nothing wrong with him bringing up these problems.

01:13We think that the biggest problem is that

01:16his way of doing things will create contradictions in this society.

01:21So no one should deny him as a Buddhist,

01:24to defend the Buddhism or the rights of Malays.

01:28We just hope that there will be a better way,

01:31a more peaceful way.

01:33The most important thing is to achieve the final result,

01:37and not to destroy the harmony that we have built for so many years

01:40in the process of this whole defense.

01:43Individual parties have the right to defend their own ethnic groups.

01:48We also hope that our friends will respect us and defend our rights.

01:51But our way of doing things should be more neutral.

01:54We should use reason to convince others.

01:57We should not use loud voices,

01:59we should not use threats,

02:01and we should not use the so-called religious pressure.

02:05Of course, his speech does not represent the truth.

02:08It is his own personal opinion.

02:10Even if the United Nations had decided not to attend the Najib event,

02:17Ahmad would still go.

02:19So it is very obvious that this is his personal style,

02:23and he should not be involved in state affairs.

02:25On the other hand, it is his personal freedom.

02:28We will not stop those who think they should support this movement.

02:31We will not encourage those who do not support to participate.
