00:00When there was a problem with the kuih, there were a lot of people who were upset.
00:03I heard it.
00:05Because they said that it wasn't right.
00:08They said that it wasn't true.
00:11I heard it.
00:12I heard it.
00:14I heard it.
00:15I heard it.
00:15I'm sorry.
00:16I didn't mean it.
00:19In my being,

00:26I didn't want to rob them.
00:29I didn't.
00:34Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has apologized for previously using the term illegal temples,
00:40describing it as a mistake.
00:43Speaking at a dinner with the Indian community in Seremban,
00:46Anwar said no old temple had been demolished since he became Prime Minister.
00:51He said he accepted that he should have not used the term after previously referring to kuil haram
00:58when discussing temple issues.
01:01Anwar also announced that he would personally oversee all issues affecting the Indian community from now on.
01:09He said he decided to take direct charge after receiving numerous appeals and complaints about the challenges faced by the
01:16community.
01:17Human Resources Minister R Ramanan will continue implementing government-approved programs,
01:23including those under the Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit, or MITRA.
01:28But Anwar said he would personally monitor wider issues involving the Indian community
01:34to ensure they received proper attention.
01:37He said the move would improve coordination of economic and welfare initiatives,
01:42including financing through Turku Nasional, Amanah Iktiar Malaysia,
01:47and government-backed guarantee schemes.
