Transcript
00:00All right, so tell us, say thoughts on your birthday.
00:03I have no thoughts really. I didn't listen to it because I understood from the beginning
00:07it's going to be the same thing. No concern for the poor nearly. They are for themselves.
00:12They have been proven time and time again. Make promises
00:15and they don't keep it. They don't care what the poor.
00:19They think about above and what is best for them.
00:22Very good. Why?
00:25Because they give me $2.50 and my pension.
00:27To me, I find the bodies are so hot up.
00:33Because the territory should, right now,
00:36the primers are only selling themselves.
00:39You understand? They are selling the poor people at all.
00:43And there is no kind of thing for the poor people.
00:46They are putting nothing in place for the poor people.
00:49You understand? And I see it like that.
00:52Personally, even though I didn't really tune in, from what I've heard,
00:56much like all the things the government right now is doing,
00:59it is not up to the standard that it should be for the country
01:01and how we want the country to actually be.
01:04Well, let me be honest.
01:05I didn't really hear it. I didn't really take it in.
01:07But, budget come on fast and everything is still you see.
01:10That's what I'm saying.
01:11We still have to come out here as people and work hard.
01:15I mean, the mountain pain is already reaching.
01:17The second week in the mountain also,
01:19what the government is already doing?
01:21You feel me?
01:22Don't need, don't need, don't need,
01:24benefiting the self and the people.
01:25What about the people who want it down?
01:27To put them in power.
01:29You feel me?
01:31That's the best I could say right now.
01:33We still have to come out here and work hard in the hotel
01:36when everybody is still down in the office
01:38and making sure the people are good in that way.
01:42So, it comes like a kind of,
01:44this government, it comes like a kind of biased government.
01:47And as I'm saying, when you win,
01:49you win, everybody win.
01:51But for some change reason,
01:52I still have to suffer and you win.
01:54You feel me?
01:54Well, I'm happy that the old age pensioners,
01:58they did the raise,
02:00and, you know,
02:02the public servants getting the money.
02:04No longer waiting for that.
02:06Yeah.
02:08It was alright.
02:09I find,
02:11they could at least raise the minimum wage.
02:14Because, I mean,
02:14the coastal level is very high.
02:17So, yeah.
