00:02I would like to appeal to the press to highlight this part because we have
00:10reached out to all the ministers. This morning I spoke to Dato Sri Bama
00:16Ahsan personally. He gave me the updates. I know some of the constraints
00:21with I can't share. So based on that only Prime Minister is able to because
00:27there's multiple ministries. Majlis Keselamatan Negara has taken over on the
00:32specifics. NAGMA is involved and nobody's hearing our side of the story, the
00:39informations we have. Massif respectively. I'm worried when I say Massif, people
00:47think we are like a political party or NGOs trying to do it. So I'm gonna say if
00:52not Massif, all the 49 NOKs, right? Respectfully, appeals for an urgent meeting
01:01with the young Ahmad Berhormat Dato Sri Anwar Ibrahim, our Prime Minister. We request
01:07that the Prime Minister meet. If he can't meet all the 49 representatives, at least
01:14meet with one representative who is an NOK, not an outsider, he's not a
01:18representative. He's also an affected person. We request that the Prime Minister
01:23meet with the representative of the affected families, next of kin, to hear
01:29directly. I'm not asking for an answer from the Prime Minister. We want to tell
01:34our story. We want to tell what has been happening because information that may be
01:39passed on by the officers or by the media may not be the story that we want to
01:45tell, right? To hear directly about the challenges we face and the concerns of the families whose
01:54loved one remains missing. As day nine approaches, we believe the Prime Minister's direct intervention
02:03can help accelerate coordination, strengthen diplomatic efforts and ensure that every available
02:11resources is mobilised to locate and account for the missing Malaysians. We respectfully ask
02:19for the Prime Minister's support, leadership and a clear action plan to help bring our loved
02:28ones home. This is not a political appeal. It is a humanitarian appeal from the families
02:35seeking answers and hoping for their loved ones safe return. When a Prime Minister calls the Prime Minister,
02:44there's at least for the respect they will give in certain terms. And I'm, let me tell you why. Out
02:54of the total
02:56foreign lists were missing, they've included the Nepali who are like the Sherpa and the guides in the list
03:03because they were part of the delegation with the foreigners. The highest is Nepalese. So we take that out.
03:11We have India, number one, in terms of highest number of missing people. Number two is US in 60-something.
03:22Number
03:23three is Malaysia, 55 missing persons. Malaysia is on number three. We have offered a 1 million US aid. I'm
03:34sure the PM can tell, you know, our
03:37people are concerned. We have the third largest missing people. Could you at least allow a team to go on
03:44site?
03:532nd, 1.3.5?
03:543nd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 5th?
