00:00The meeting also agreed for ASEAN to undertake internal ASEAN consultations on the proposal
00:06for permanent ASEAN special envoy on Myanmar. Otherwise, we take turn. Every year we change
00:14special envoy, then we have to start all over again, all over again, and there's no end
00:18to it. So that we have agreed we want to explore, and majority does not agree. Nobody
00:24is it otherwise. And just matter of who is going to be the permanent special envoy, maybe
00:31on three-year term. We have already sent a very strong signal, message to Myanmar, that
00:37we would want Myanmar to comply with the five-point consensus first. Stop the hostilities, cease
00:44fire, sit down together with all parties, with the stakeholders, and then let this humanitarian
00:51aid reach the respective area. And then generally we talk about election. There's no point having
01:00election if it is partially participated by people of Myanmar. That will aggravate the situation
01:08further. So as far as ASEAN is concerned, we are very much insist upon this five-point consensus
01:16and we are ever-willing to address the five-point consensus to be fulfilled by this SAC. That
01:23is not a priority of ASEAN. What is the point if it is just a whitewash for to cover up in
01:30the eye of international community? So there's no point. But it's up to them. If they want
01:39ASEAN members, then I think they should be together and then stick to the five-point consensus and
01:44we are ever-willing to assist in whatever way that we can help Myanmar.
01:50Dathut Sri, Eileen from the Associated Press. Just on the issue of Myanmar, you talk about this proposal
01:58for the special, a permanent position for the special envoy to Myanmar. Is that already something
02:04that's confirmed or it's just a proposal stage at this point?
02:07Dathut Sri, Eileen from the Associated Press. That's a proposal stage and everybody for that
02:10matter have no objection to that. But the operational, who is going to be the permanent special envoy
02:17will be discussed at some level then we will bring it back to the leaders. But basically the idea
02:23of having a permanent envoy there, I think we received a very good response from all the respective
02:30states this morning.
02:31Okay. Also, thank you. Just to follow up on the issue of Myanmar where you said all you
02:38want for the SAC is to comply with the five-point consensus and to move towards dialogue.
02:46Malaysia has taken this stance of trying to engage all sides, right? SAC, NUG. But you
02:53yourself said that there's a trust deficit. So I'm just wondering, are you getting any signals
02:59at all from the SAC that it is willing to do that? Because in the last four years, nothing has,
03:06it just refused to comply. So is there any signal that Malaysia is getting that things might change?
03:14I'm not going to be able to do that. I've been able to do that. I think
03:16I'm not going to be able to do that. I think we try to convince them. Because
03:20Five Point Consensus is also they are the destinatories. And I think Five Point Consensus is
03:21acceptable to everybody. So actually Five Point Consensus is nothing fantastic. Because what we
03:27need to do is to have a ceasefire, an unhindered, a maternity aid, special envoy, everything is there.
03:33And partly they have already done it, but they don't want to say it. They want to comply.
03:40So I will be going to Menapi Dao again in June, not as a Malaysian foreign minister, but as
03:50chairman of ASEAN. I'm going to talk to them further. We have to explore. We have to be patient.
03:56Because the warring section has been against each other for decades. So it's not as simple
04:05as what we think. But I suppose with the recent calamity, the earthquake happened, I think
04:12everybody have come to their sense. I think that's a good opportunity. Like what happened
04:17in Aceh last time after this, what do you call it, tsunami. Everybody come to their sense,
04:22and they come and sit down, and they can start talking to each other. I hope that it will happen.
04:29Pandangan terhadap kritikan yang mengatakan bahawa pendirian ASEAN yang tidak mahu
04:36campur tangan telah mengahadkan keupayaan dalam menangani konflik dalaman yang berlaku di Myanmar.
04:41Mungkin boleh beri pandangan sikit?
04:43Tidak mahu campur tangan.
04:44Tidak mahu campur tangan.
04:45Tidak mahu campur tangan dalam hal ehwal negara-negara dalam negara ASEAN. Itu
04:49kita punya dasar ASEAN. Tidak mahu campur tangan. Tinggal lagi, apa yang berlaku dalam
04:56negara Myanmar sekarang ini, dia tidak lagi confined to Myanmar. Dia dah jadi transborder
05:03crime dengan dia punya money laundering, dengan dia punya job scam, macam-macam sekali lah.
05:10Selepas itu, people been displaced, million of people been displaced. Malaysia sendiri
05:16terpaksa menguruskan 200 lebih ribu orang daripada Rohingya. Ini dah jadi masalah
05:23dalam ASEAN. Kita bukannya nak mencampuri hal ehwal dalaman mereka, tetapi dia dah
05:28menjadi sebagai isu ASEAN. Jadi, itu sebabnya, sebagai negara dalam ASEAN, kita bersetuju
05:35untuk kita pastikan isu Myanmar ini ditangani sebaik mungkin bersama-sama
05:41sebagai melalui ASEAN mekanism.
05:45terima kasih.
05:47terima kasih.
05:49terima kasih.
05:53terima kasih.
05:55terima kasih.
