00:00Bukum ini sebenarnya dimulakan dengan beberapa catatan saya semasa di penjara Sungai Buloh.
00:12Kita relax, tenang, kita tulis. Ingat Azizah sikit, tulis banyak.
00:17Kemudian saya berbicara secara terang mengenai undang, ideas, sastra, hubungan masyarakat Melayu, China, India, Ustaz Nasabah, Sarawak.
00:33Tapi ideas, saya bukan cerita saya saja tapi banyak tentang pengalaman saya.
00:37Kali pertama dipercara tahun 1974 kerana bantu orang miskin balik.
00:43Kemudian naik sebagai menteri, teman menteri.
00:46Lapan masuk lagi.
00:49Itu pengalaman tapi saya cerita banyak tentang ideas.
00:53It's not an autobiography.
00:55It's not a story about Anwar per se.
00:58But you see the decades of development of ideas.
01:07Essentially from the 70s.
01:10What were the books that gave self-confident influence on my thinking?
01:16What's good for the nation in the 70s?
01:19Then you see in the 80s you are doing the government.
01:21What are the challenges?
01:23Issues of corruption, racism, religious extremism.
01:28How do you deal with it?
01:30How do you get Malaysians to work together?
01:32Love the nation?
01:33What about post-colonialism?
01:35We all hate colonial masters.
01:39But do you really understand what colonialism is about?
01:44They control your minds.
01:45They control your system.
01:47Should you be truly independent?
01:49How do you regain your composure and your dignity as a nation?
01:53How do you build this nation with such complexities?
01:57Different races, different regions.
01:59What's unique about Malaysia?
02:01How is it that we can survive with all these differences?
02:05How do we then take up measures to ensure that we continue to survive?
02:10Then, the 90s.
02:13Then, of course, another present term.
02:16Then, what are the issues?
02:19And then, of course, the new challenges.
02:21People say Z-Gist, which means the challenges of the times.
02:26When I grew up, there was no digital need for digital transformation.
02:33Nobody talks about energy transition, except for the club of rope.
02:41Only one earth.
02:42But it was because of the books that were read.
02:45But it does not permeate into the ground.
02:49And it was not taken up by the political leaders.
02:52Political leaders sometimes are the last
02:54to think about change, about reform.
02:58It is just about power.
03:01And how do then we change this?
03:03How do you get the people to understand
03:06that corruption is a menace?
03:09That it will destroy societies.
03:12Willions lost.
03:14And then, I also admit,
03:16well, it is not easy.
03:18When you do confront this,
03:19I thought everybody was supportive.
03:22Not necessarily so.
03:23Because the corrupt are oftentimes very rich,
03:28very powerful, very influential.
03:30How do you get the young to understand and appreciate this?
03:34Work together as a team.
03:36But this is, therefore, towards the end,
03:38about digital challenges of AI,
03:41about values.
03:42Do you just have expertise on AI?
03:44And forget that you are a human being.
03:48That you have feelings.
03:49You have to understand.
03:51And the technology, a machine,
03:53cannot decide for us on everything.
03:57They can decide on a lot of things.
03:59They have expertise and comprehension.
04:02But then, they should not decide about the values.
04:06How do you respect?
04:07Why do I promote the dialogue with Islam and Confucianism, for example?
04:13All these things, in the jottings,
04:17I do explain.
04:19I don't remember all,
04:20because it's a work of more than a decade.
04:24Jottings and jottings.
04:26And I'm not good at having that discipline of writing.
04:31But so, early this year,
04:36when I had to struggle,
04:37agreement with the publisher,
04:39I must finish.
04:41I had to do that.
04:43Aziz Admi complained, he says,
04:45that at my age,
04:46I shouldn't be working too hard
04:48and sleeping very late.
04:50And ignoring her.
04:53But so, that's why I said,
04:54my first book is a renaissance,
04:56a renaissance,
04:57dedicated to my parents.
04:58This book, Rethink Ourselves,
05:02a special dedication to my lovely wife, Aziz Ad.
05:09That's all I have to say.
05:10It's not a speech,
05:11I just want to talk about the book.
05:13Now, with this Hearst publication in London,
05:17Penguin, now this one, in Asia,
05:20and Hong Kong University Press,
05:22then of course,
05:24I will get a lot of royalty.
05:26All right?
05:29So, let me declare now,
05:31that every cent of the royalty
05:33will be spent on poor students
05:36in this country.
05:37But from the initial projection,
05:45it's going to be quite substantial.
05:48Because the books are quite expensive.
05:50So, I don't determine the price of the publisher.
05:54And thank you again,
05:55Pansri,
05:56for giving this opportunity.
06:07The book.
06:07I want to declare now theuch.
06:08The book popular is linked by Rogier No.
06:10The subject.
06:10The book in the book,
06:11of The Word,
06:12in the book.
06:12The book.
06:13It is versioned byč Rossell.
06:13I'm going to bloody next year.
06:14The book to keep Schloss V.
06:15Spirit the book,
06:15he's been a Russian ownership,
06:16and he's going to be very su好.
06:17And he's going to tell over you.
06:18The book is now you to tell.
06:19He's going to be called the vox,
06:20and his own turning神ność wasn't saying
06:21you,
06:21who will漴 places.
06:23And it will be reached,
06:24and you can't see it near the floor.
06:25This will be a manageablewater process.
06:26Now,
06:27it is something very interesting.
06:28There are the many times
