00:00 As we all know, all the bodies have been buried safely.
00:08 The last one is today, Lieutenant Sibah.
00:25 We would like to thank everyone who has shared their grief
00:38 to the Honourable Lieutenant General,
00:43 the Government, the leadership of the late Dato' Sriyano Ibrahim
00:50 and all the Malaysians who have been affected by the tragedy.
01:01 I had the opportunity to be at one of the burial sites
01:13 and spoke to the wife of the late Lieutenant General,
01:20 who wanted to express her gratitude to the Malaysians
01:29 for their condolences.
01:32 She said that she wanted to inform the Malaysians
01:39 that she appreciated the sacrifices and donations
01:44 made by all the soldiers.
01:49 She said that as a wife, she knows more about the sacrifices
01:58 made by her late husband.
02:01 She wanted the Malaysians to be aware
02:06 and appreciate the sacrifices.
02:10 Those who are not familiar with the work of the army
02:21 may think that it is a normal job.
02:25 She said that as a wife, she knows more about the sacrifices
02:34 made by her late husband.
02:38 She said that what happened was a family tragedy.
02:44 We would like to take this opportunity to thank the family
02:52 for the sacrifices made by the husband and wife
02:59 for the country.
03:04 We will make sure that the family of the victims
03:11 and the heirs will be taken care of.
03:18 The pension, the insurance, the cooperation fund,
03:35 the LTAT, everything is being taken care of.
03:42 We are also collecting the donations from yesterday.
03:48 As I said, the government has agreed to donate 10,000.
03:55 We have also received a commitment from the PTTN,
04:01 which is the children of the 21 people involved.
04:08 PTTN will donate to open a 1000 ringgit savings account
04:13 for each person.
04:15 There are many more.
04:18 I am not emphasizing this issue because
04:22 any kind of help and donation in the form of 1 ringgit
04:29 is not enough for those who have passed away.
04:34 That is why I do not want to talk about it.
04:37 But I believe that we are handling this matter well.
04:43 When the time comes, we will inform the family
04:48 or the heirs and possibly the public.
