00:00As a mother of small children, I am also concerned about the waste in our country.
00:20For your information, there are not many complaints about the waste in our country.
00:27Let's take a look at the complaints we have received.
00:32Since 2015, there have only been four complaints.
00:37The first one is related to fake goods.
00:41The second one is related to waste that has been disposed of out of date.
00:48It has caused a lot of confusion.
00:51Those are the complaints we have received.
00:53I would like to inform you that if the complaint is related to fake goods,
00:59it is in the jurisdiction of the KPDN.
01:01In one case in 2017, we have taken action against a company in Sungai Petani
01:11which is involved in the waste disposal of fake goods.
01:18However, the second question is related to the development of standards.
01:29I think this is a very important issue for us to address.
01:37In Malaysia, we have 15 agencies involved in standards,
01:43including CRIM, Medical Device Authority, etc.
01:48In relation to fake goods, I have to make it clear that there are many overlaps and gaps.
02:00For example, where CRIM has conducted research on chemical and consumer products,
02:07where CRIM has conducted testing on sanitary towels and baby diapers.
02:17However, in relation to the development of standards,
02:21I would like to make it clear that under Article 1999,
02:30the KPDN has the power under Section 19,
02:36which states that the minister can, through regulations,
02:40establish safety standards in relation to
02:44a. any item or class of item
02:47b. any service or class of service
02:51This is the power to establish standards, as Mr. Tumpad asked earlier.
02:58So, taking this power, the KPDN will start its process
03:06to develop standards in relation to baby items.
03:10For your information, Mr. Tumpad,
03:13we need to work with other agencies, such as KKM, the Ministry of Chemistry, etc.
03:18However, I would like to make it clear that the KPDN standards
03:22have also developed standards in relation to baby toys.
03:25We have already prepared the standards for toys.
03:29But, God willing, for baby products,
03:31we will start the process to engage with all agencies
03:36and develop safety standards for baby products, including toys.
