00:14We now invite Yama Mahurma Nato Sri Anwar bin Ibrahim to insert the token in place to initiate our launch

00:21But Malaysian companies are not merely users of modular technology, but active participants in its development, production, and commercialization.
00:34So the transformation of our construction industry must ultimately translate into tangible benefits for the rakyat, not the least being
00:46affordable housing.
00:48Because otherwise they will continue to be disconnected with these gigantic mega projects and buildings, which has no relevance to
01:02the welfare of the majority of our rakyat.

02:46the affairs of the state with greater transparency, observing the principles of governance,
02:54You cannot build more and assist more by not imposing on the government and the public sector unnecessary costs.
03:08Ultimately, the success of this transformation should be measured only by the number of technologies introduced or projects completed.
03:17It must also be measured by the capabilities we develop, the opportunities we create for local businesses, the quality of
03:30homes and infrastructure we deliver, and the value we contribute to the Malaysian economy.
03:47The $13,000 has to be measured by the number of technologies that we create.
