00:00Ladies and gentlemen, who do you vote for?

00:06The breakdown of the voters here is 46% Malay,

00:1130% Chinese, 18% Indian,

00:155% indigenous people and others.

00:18So this is the breakdown.

00:20So the profile of the area is quite important for us to understand.

00:25And we also know that in the current situation,

00:28the sentiment of crossing the border of the people is clear.

00:35In the question of the failure of the government

00:39to handle the issue of the people.

00:41I said earlier that this is a chance

00:44used for a referendum.

00:47I shouldn't be able to say this about the SPR, it's not yet public.

00:50But that's what we mean.

00:52Opportunity that we know,

00:54everywhere, including urban areas,

00:58the cost of living,

01:00the pressure of the cost of living,

01:02the price of commodities,

01:04the falling ringgit,

01:06the increase in interest,

01:08the price of electricity is rising,

01:10water is also rising.

01:12So this is a big burden.

01:14We will use this opportunity to explain

01:18what the National Union can do.

01:21It will not change the status quo.

01:29But it will give a very clear sign and signal

01:33to the present government

01:35how the feeling of the people is all about.

01:38Tan Sri, you said it's going to be a referendum.

01:41But the federal government has announced millions of ringgit.

01:45By right, it is not proper and fair.

01:48Whatever you say about it,

01:50I've heard some people commenting,

01:54saying it's not right.

01:56It shouldn't be like that.

01:58And I think the people have the power

02:00to waste millions of ringgit.

02:06That's the people's money.

02:08They don't have to wait for the PRK.

02:12When the time comes, they can use it.

02:14But I also know,

02:16maybe they want to attract voters.

02:21Maybe it won't stop.

02:23One or two more days,

02:25the price of electricity will go down again.

02:27But in the past,

02:29these things don't matter.

02:32There is a little, but it doesn't matter.

02:35If the people have a hard time,

02:37what they are given is a palace,

02:39a temple, a highway,

02:41but their lives are burdened.

02:43Even if you give a million,

02:45what are you going to do?

02:46Are you going to give help,

02:48like we did during COVID?

02:50Food on the table.

02:52The people feel this is hard.

02:57So you can announce a school.

02:59It's okay, not that we disagree.

03:01A road, maybe a bridge.

03:04But what do you do to help the people?

03:07The burden is increasing day by day.

03:11And not long ago,

03:13the Minister of Foreign Affairs

03:15announced that

03:17the nationalization subsidy

03:20will be implemented

03:22in June or July.

03:24It is ready.

03:26With the increase in oil and petrol.

03:30Because he said he wanted to pay the subsidy,

03:33but the burden will be burdened on the users.

03:36Those who are already burdened

03:38will add more burden.

03:40So there is no good news.

03:43We as the National Alliance

03:45are firm on this issue.

03:47And we will continue to fight for the people.

03:50Even though this is by-election.

03:52Soon there will be other voters.

03:56But this is important

03:58for us to give a strong condition

04:00to the government

04:02about the burden of the people.

04:04That for me is key.
