00:00Yeah, tailwind!
00:03Firstly, I will say that congrats for choosing the right location
00:08because Malaysia, especially Port Klang,
00:15is one of the most strategic port in this part of the world.
00:19We are at the center of Strait of Malacca,
00:22not too north, neither not too south.
00:25You don't have to go too south, just come to Port Klang.
00:28That is the right location in Strait of Malacca.
00:31I'm sure you know what I mean.
00:36And when you come to Port Klang, you are not just coming to Malaysia.
00:40You are basically connecting between Europe and Asia
00:45via sea and via land.
00:48Because here in Port Klang, we are connecting through intermodal,
00:53especially trail through a railway network.
00:55I'm sure when you come into the port,
00:57you can see there is a railway network connecting both North Port and West Port,
01:02and of course to our main line in the peninsula.
01:05But more than this, we are building another important railway network
01:11called the East Coast Rail Link,
01:13where in two to three years time, you will have a double track along this port corridor.
01:20And that will connect between this port and the eastern part of the country,
01:26the East Coast part of the peninsula,
01:28linking to Kuantan and the East Coast of the peninsula Malaysia.
01:32And more importantly, we want to link up all this railway network,
01:36not only within Malaysia, but linking all the way to Thailand.
01:40In fact, today we already have a real link with Thailand.
01:43Why Thailand?
01:44Because the moment we link to Thailand,
01:46then we can link to the entire Asia continent.
01:51And from Thailand, going off north, you will go to Laos.
01:55And from Laos, you can go all the way to China.
01:59So that is what we envision as the Pan-Asian River Network.
02:05That means when you come to Port Klang,
02:07or you have a box or container coming from Europe,
02:11reach Port Klang, you can basically reach any part of Asia.
02:16Or vice versa.
02:17If you have a box or container from China,
02:20you do not have to transport it from the ports in China.
02:27You can transport it by rail, come all the way to North Port.
02:31From Port Klang, you can go to Europe by ship.
02:34That is the vision that we hope that we can realize in the near future.
02:38Because we all know that right now,
02:40the world is impacted by a lot of disruption.
02:45Especially in many parts of the world,
02:47you do not know when disruption will happen.
02:50Supply chain residence is the key word right now to your customers.
02:54So you do not have to worry whatever disruption happened in South China Sea.
02:58That is another option that you can think about
03:01by having a hub at North Port in Port Klang.
03:05So I'd like to congratulate for making the right and strategic decision for your company.
03:11Secondly, of course the Malaysian government,
03:17at the Ministry of Transport level,
03:19we are doing our level best to simplify our processes,
03:23to make it easier for shipping lines to come in,
03:27to be more pro-business,
03:29and welcoming private sector,
03:32and welcoming the growth of businesses and trade.
03:35At the port level,
03:37we have implemented what we call the Malaysia Maritime Single Window.
03:43When your ships call to our ports,
03:45it is very simple and very easy.
03:47Everything can be done online.
03:49You do not have to submit any papers.
03:51Your port clearance,
03:52everything can be done just by a single window
03:56through our Malaysian Maritime Single Window application.
04:05No, no.
04:06That is,
04:08You
