00:00Soalan tambah saya very straightforward

00:02mengenai Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, ART ini.

00:07Yang pertama, saya nak minta Yang Mok Bahumat bagi penjelasan

00:12terhadap satu kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh DH Malaysia

00:19bertarikh 3 November semalam.

00:22Tajuknya, Tajuknya Yang Mok Bahumat,

00:24Malaysia forced into US trade talks

00:29to protect its export, says Deputy Minister.

00:35Saya mohon baca.

00:36Kololopo, November 3,

00:39Malaysia had no choice but to enter negotiations with the US

00:44over the recent Reciprocal Trade Agreement

00:48as the discussion were driven by Washington's unilateral move

00:55and the two sides were not on equal footing.

00:58Deputy Investment Trade and Industry Minister, Liu Chin Tong, said.

01:04He is here now.

01:06Much like other export-reliant economies including Japan, South Korea and China,

01:13Liu said, Malaysia was forced into the talks after US announced the so-called Reciprocal Tariff back in April.

01:27Quote, quote, if you ask me, of course I don't want to negotiate.

01:32None of us want to negotiate with the US, not China, not Japan, not South Korea.

01:40But when the US said, you either follow my rules or I will impose hefty tariff,

01:46every nation had to decide to negotiate with the US.

01:50He said during his speech at the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research Business Conference

01:57on the 2026 National Budget, SST and International Trade Updates.

02:05Satu lagi paragraf.

02:07Liu said, Malaysia had no desire to enter such talks but had to do so to protect its export market.

02:17This was not an equal partnership.

02:21It was a US unilateral action.

02:24He said, noting that the same predicament applied to even countries in Europe and East Asia.

02:31Ini bukan harakah daily.

02:34Ini DH November 3rd, yesterday only.

02:37So, saya nak minta penerangan daripada Iyamak-Iyamak Perdana Menteri.

02:42Ini kenyataan daripada anggota kerajaan, anggota petakbairan yang pertama.

02:48Terima kasih.

02:49Yang pertamanya, Tim Alam Menteri sebut, kita terpaksa mengadakan punggungan.

02:58Dengar.

02:59Baik.

03:00Dengarlah dulu.

03:01Tak sabar langsung.

03:03Baik.

03:07Apakah keputusan Amerika itu unilateral?

03:11Betul.

03:12Amerika itu buat unilateral agreement.

03:15Saya bincang panjang dengan Presiden Lula da Silva, Brazil.

03:19Yang kena 50%.

03:21Apakah dia bantah? Dia bantah.

03:23Kemudian, apakah dia minta ada perundingan dengan Amerika?

03:27Ada.

03:29Itu siapa? Brazil.

03:31Jadi, apakah dia setuju? Dia tak setuju.

03:34Apakah dia berunding? Dia berunding.

03:35Janganlah cakap berdegar-degar. Ini kenyataan.

03:39Brazil.

03:40Brazil.

03:41Kena 50%.

03:42Dia berunding. Di mana berunding? Kuala Lumpur.

03:45Dia minta bertemu setelah unilateral.

03:49Keputusan oleh Amerika Syarikat.

03:56Syria dan Mafosa.

03:58Afrika Selatan pun begitu.

04:01Negara China yang diimpus.

04:04Unilateral.

04:05Yes.

04:06Sama ada istilahnya Mako Ali itu dia mengadakan tentu sebuah negara China besar.

04:10Dia tak kata dia dipaksa.

04:12Tapi dia kata dia bersedia berunding.

04:13Bila Amerika mengambil kesempatan begitu.

04:17Jadi, maksud mungkin naratif Timbalan Menteri itu tidak halus betul-betul tetapi semangatnya betul.

04:29Kita tak setuju.

04:3019% saya beritahu.

04:32Dalam mesyuarat bilateral Menteri-Menteri ada.

04:35Tomat ya.

04:36Menteri dua ya.

04:37Ya.

04:39Saya sebut Mr. President.

04:41I disagree.

04:42It has to be lower.

04:4490%.

04:4519.

04:46Mula dia kata 25.

04:48Turun 90.

04:49Saya kata saya setuju.

04:50Saya tak setuju.

04:52It has to be lower.

04:53Tapi ini unilateral dia.

04:56Baik.

04:57Itu konteks dia keda betul-betul.

05:01Maknanya,

05:03apakah kita harus,

05:04kalau tanya saya,

05:06kita harus berunding.

05:08Tapi istilah di Malam Menteri dia kata kita terpaksa,

05:10kita terpaksa berunding.

05:11Tak apalah.

05:12Saya akan minta dia fine tune sedikit.

05:16Ya, boleh.

05:17Tapi ini maksudnya,

05:19recipe broker,

05:20tarif yang dikenalkan.

05:21Ya, baik.

05:22Yang keduanya,

05:24dalam keadaan begitu,

05:28kita gunakan sedaya upaya.

05:31Sebenarnya,

05:31rundingan itu sebenarnya mengambil masa berbulan-bulan.

05:35Dengan tim,

05:37pasukan kita yang keras.

05:38Bukan tidak mudah.

05:40Malah dalam,

05:41termasuk yang orang,

05:43cuba pertikai,

05:45saya sebut suhalal.

05:46Oh, dia kata,

05:46Anwar menyerah Amerika.

05:48Itu masih diteruskan.

05:49Walaupun saya dah jelaskan.

05:51Saya baru teringat nama,

05:52Profesor Madison Harvard itu.

05:54Profesor Kandil.

05:56Ayahnya pernah bertugas dengan Perkim.

05:59Profesor of Madison Harvard.

06:02Kemudian,

06:03yang chairmannya,

06:04Komiti,

06:05Syaitar Jabir Al-Aluani.

06:07Ustaz Usufikh.

06:09Imam Masjid,

06:10Imam Majid.

06:11Itu saya ingat.

06:12Jadi,

06:13saya kata,

06:13mereka yang putuskan.

06:15Jadi,

06:15kalau mereka putuskan,

06:16Jakim ada hubungan,

06:18boleh mengesahkan.

06:19Adalah confidence.

06:20Tapi,

06:20kalau,

06:21mana-mana badan di mana,

06:23yang tak boleh kita sahkan,

06:25kita tak sahkan.

06:27Walaupun import daging di Amerika itu,

06:29tersangat kecil.

06:31Tapi,

06:32kita masih jaga,

06:33kedudukan kita.

06:34Baik.

06:35Saya nak sebut di sini,

06:36yang dibangkitkan oleh,

06:39Kota Baru itu.

06:40Saya nak sebut.

06:42Yang saya sebut,

06:42Exit Clause.

06:44Yang diperkenalkan dia.

06:457.4.

06:48Dia masalah bila kita baca.

06:50Kita baca ikut selera kita.

06:52Kalau baca-baca keseluruhannya.

06:53Tak setuju,

06:54para pertama.

06:55Saya boleh beritahu,

06:57tapi,

06:58ini masalah antara negara.

06:59Semasa bincang dengan Premier Li Chiang,

07:02saya perkara ini.

07:03Tapi,

07:03saya tak mahu sebut.

07:04Cara terperinci.

07:05Tak elok.

07:06Tetapi,

07:07baca keseluruhannya.

07:08Kerana,

07:08sebahagian kalau kita baca,

07:09kita menimbulkan kebimbangan.

07:13Tetapi,

07:13sebab itu,

07:14saya baca tadi,

07:1551.

07:16Dan kemudian,

07:177.4.

07:18Yang penting ini,

07:19iaitu enforcement.

07:20Penguatkuasaannya.

07:22Nothing in this agreement,

07:23shall constrain

07:26or otherwise prevent a party

07:28from imposing international tariffs.

07:31Betul.

07:32Kita boleh kenalkan,

07:33dia boleh kenalkan.

07:35But,

07:36untuk apa?

07:36to remedy unfair trade practices,

07:41to address import surges,

07:44to protect,

07:45ini penting,

07:46to protect its economic

07:49or national security.

07:52Ini binding clause bagi kita.

07:55Kerana,

07:56or,

07:57for other similar reasons,

07:59consistent with its domestic law.

08:02Sebab itu,

08:03soal bumi putera kita pertahankan.

08:05Dan soal kepentingan,

08:07qualification tentang,

08:10apapun penguatkuasaan,

08:11dia tak boleh berbelakangkan,

08:14undang-undang domestik kita.

08:16Ya,
