00:00time already. Perhaps what we need to do is to communicate more of what we have been doing.

00:09We have set up a number of mechanisms at the housing level. For example, the establishment

00:20of the housing working group took about online scams. As part of the overall mechanism under

00:31the housing services meeting, the most recent meeting we had was in Thailand in January this

00:40year, where we need to intensify the work of this working group. That's one. Second, of

00:49course, we had the asset ministry meeting on transnational crime, AMRPC, which they met

00:58of course early this year. We had a lot of discussions on what we consider to be the top priorities

01:10to address threats to us in security. And we arrange them. We assess them. We arrange

01:20all the threats. You know, they arrange them from trafficking and drugs, trafficking persons,

01:31online scams. So there's a wide range of issues that we're looking at inclusively, not just

01:40a particular thing. So we understand that our friends from the international community, they

01:50encourage us. But this is a global issue. It's not just a regional issue or national issue

01:56or local issue or local issue. It's a global issue. It requires greater collaboration and

02:05cooperation involving different stakeholders, agencies for example. It's not just the law enforcement

02:13sector. But go way beyond that. And that's why one of the things that this year has been

02:19a major significant. And that is the establishment of a new essential body called the ASEAN Prosecutors

02:28and Attorney General. And you will be working together. There's something quite, quite new.

02:34I think the leaders of you see the chairman's statement in the paragraph 47 of the chairman's statement.

02:41Welcome, the leaders welcome the establishment of this new body. So that ASEAN among the 11 member states

02:48now can work together, go and rejoin the law enforcement sector. I think that's a new development there.

02:56So I would just say, yes, this is something that we're working on very closely across from the state.

03:03That's why we call on for greater sharing of information and intelligence, the collaboration

03:09among the law enforcement sector, and of course those agencies that need to be involved.

03:15Thank you, sir.

03:16Yes.

03:17Yes.
