00:00Two, one
00:30yang perlu kita pindah
00:31seiring dengan
00:33perkembangan semasa
00:36dan juga keperluan
00:37untuk masa depan. Kerana
00:39banyak daripada
00:41undang-undang ini adalah undang-undang yang telah
00:44lama, yang tidak dipindah
00:45setiap sekian lama, yang mungkin
00:48ada banyak perkara yang
00:50tidak lagi
00:51relevant ataupun tidak mengikut
00:53perkembangan semasa.
00:56Yang perlu kita lihat kembali
00:57supaya menjadikan industri
00:59maritim negara kita lebih kompetitif.
01:02Jadi ini yang sedang dilaksanakan
01:03seperti yang saya telah umumkan pada minggu lalu
01:05jawatankuasa
01:07review ini
01:09dipenguruskan oleh Tan Sri Nalini
01:12iaitu Hakim
01:13Mahkamah Persekutuan kita
01:15yang juga merupakan seorang pakar undang-undang
01:17maritim. Dan ada
01:19terdapat ramai pakar-pakar lain yang
01:21dalam jawatankuasa itu yang akan
01:23menyumbang kepada cadangan
01:25untuk pindahan
01:27undang-undang maritim
01:29supaya dapat dibawa ke parlimen
01:31dalam tempoh setahun yang akan
01:33datang ini.
01:33We have given the
01:43committee
01:44one year to review
01:46but of course we have told them that
01:49we do not have to wait until one year
01:52to complete all the
01:54review. So whenever
01:56they are ready, we will go
01:57legislation by legislation
01:59starting with the Malaysian shipping
02:01ordinance. Once they have done the review, of course
02:03we will appoint some consultants to
02:05look at the legislation and to draft
02:07the legislation, the amendment
02:09the amendments. So once they are ready
02:11they can present to
02:14minister of transport anytime.
02:15So we hope that
02:17from this year
02:19and onwards
02:20every parliamentary
02:21sitting we will have something to
02:23bring to parliament
02:24for amendments. In fact
02:25this year
02:28end parliamentary session
02:28we will present a new bill
02:30on the MRT bill
02:32This is to create
02:34a source of power and to
02:36create a special court
02:37for maritime
02:38So this is called
02:40MRT bill
02:41Right now we
02:43do not have a special
02:44court in terms of MRT
02:45Right now what we have
02:46is only a high court
02:48but one of the high courts
02:49specialized on maritime
02:50So what we want to do is to
02:52create a bill
02:53to give
02:54puncha kuasa
02:55for MRT
02:57so that we have a more
02:59complete
03:00judiciary and
03:02interpretive system
03:03in terms of
03:04handling maritime disputes
03:06and maritime
03:06issues
03:07How are you working
03:09with the states
03:10as the maritime
03:11issues
03:12mostly the overlapping
03:13of authorities
03:14between states
03:15and national
03:16and national
03:16Actually
03:17states is basically
03:19yes you are right
03:21we have three
03:21different
03:22regimes in terms of
03:24maritime law
03:24In fact
03:25on the shipping
03:26ordinance we have
03:27three different
03:28authorities
03:28One of course
03:30MSO is only
03:31on Peninsular
03:32and then we have
03:33Sarawak and Sabah
03:34different sets of
03:35legislation
03:36That's why we have
03:37I have written
03:38and to get a consent
03:39of both
03:40state government
03:41of Sabah and Sarawak
03:42and they have sent
03:43their representative
03:44to sit in this
03:45reform committee
03:46so that we want
03:47to harmonize
03:48all the three
03:49authorities
03:50in terms of
03:52moving forward
03:52while we are not
03:54looking at
03:55to combine
03:57all the three
03:58ordinances
03:58but what we want
04:00to do is to
04:00harmonize it
04:01so that whatever
04:02policies
04:03whatever regulations
04:04it has to be
04:05consistent
04:06as a country
04:07so this is one
04:10of the challenges
04:10we know that
04:11some of the
04:11ordinances
04:12sometimes are
04:13not in tandem
04:14or not
04:15consistent with
04:16each other
04:16so that's why
04:17we need to sit
04:18down
04:19we need to
04:19discuss
04:19within that
04:20framework
04:20to harmonize
04:21it
04:22not to
04:23take over
04:23their powers
04:24so of course
04:25this is very
04:26important
04:26I want to
04:26stress that
04:27we respect
04:28the rights
04:29of Sabah
04:29and Sarawak
04:30as far as
04:31federal government
04:31as far as
04:32Minister of Transport
04:32is concerned
04:33we will
04:33continue to
04:34uphold
04:35and respect
04:35their rights
04:36over maritime
04:37in Sabah
04:38and Sarawak
04:38but what we
04:39need to do
04:40is to
04:41discuss
04:42and to
04:42harmonize
04:43this legislation
04:44so that
04:45we can
04:46move forward
04:46in a better
04:48way
04:48as a country
