00:00I would say really that incarceration really made you the leader you are today, in short.

00:08Yeah, I wouldn't choose that. I mean, I want the younger generation to be as alert, as compassionate,

00:17without needing to go to jail to learn.

00:23My case is unfortunate. I had to do that, endure that.

00:27But I think all for a reason, and that's why I'm saying that I'm not bitter.

00:34People say, oh, I know I'm bitter. No.

00:36But if you continue, of course I'll be tough.

00:40You know what I mean? It's okay, it's done.

00:42If I'm bitter, I tell you, hundreds will be dismissed and will be sent to prison.

00:48Sometimes I joke, how I wish I'm a dictator.

00:52But it is wrong.

00:53No. You know, you have a due process.

01:00And you have to move on.

01:02I mean, you are not, okay, you like to hear the story, but you're not interested in what happened.

01:08You want to know about your future, your family's future, your children's future,

01:13what is there for the country.

01:15So let us work together.

01:16You know, yes, I have learned this lesson, I'll share it with you.

01:21But what is important to my mind is how we then commit ourselves to improve the wealth of this country.

01:31You know, enough of this racism, corruption, injustice.

01:34And try our level best to affect change.

01:40And again, as I said, change, you move too fast.

01:45You think you are the smartest guy on earth.

01:48I have some colleagues like that.

01:50Nobody else is matter.

01:52I don't need to negotiate with others.

01:54I don't care about coalition.

01:56Then you don't govern.

01:57You don't care about coalition team.

02:00You don't govern.

02:01You see?

02:04I think in Dutch, Sugarno used to say, like,

02:07like crying in the desert.

02:12But I don't want that.

02:13I think we should use this opportunity to move.

02:18And I think, I don't know, Ramania, Emil Faisal, Rashid, all monitoring this very closely,

02:26but I think we have the capacity.

02:28We have done it.

02:29We are able to do it.

02:31And many of you, the leading banks, the leading companies, we can.

02:35You know that.

02:36It will make a difference with good governance.

02:39Now, have I interfered?

02:40I, well, Khazanah, PNB, I happen to chair.

02:45Have I interfered in decisions?

02:47No.

02:47I said, yes, new technology.

02:51Yes, green technology.

02:53Yes, Bumi Putera Welfare.

02:55Yes, program for the poor.

02:57Yes, adopt schools.

02:58That's all.

02:59I don't interfere in terms of protecting personal interest.

03:02And to me, this is a remarkable change.

03:05And if I don't interfere, none of my cabinet colleagues should interfere.

03:10The commercial decision is entirely yours.

03:13Okay?
