00:00The media statement that we will make is actually a continuation of what is being speculated
00:16outside the court about the absence of six seats of parliament in Kuala Kangsar, Labuan,
00:26Guah Musang, Jeli, Bukit Gantang, and Tanjung Karang.
00:31We have six seats in the parliament, and we have sent a written response to the Honourable
00:36Speaker, who explained himself why we support the work of the coalition and commend the leadership
00:46of His Honourable Dato' Sri Anwar bin Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia.
00:52No matter what, we want to say here that we are of the opinion that there will be no absence
01:01of seats of parliamentarians in our parliament area, because we do not leave a single party.
01:09We do not stop being members of a single party, but what happens is that we are removed from
01:18the party and our name is removed from the system of a single alliance.
01:24Therefore, this clearly proves that there are no elements of us, the six members of parliament,
01:30leaving a party or jumping to another party that can put us in the 49A group of three
01:41coalition embassies.
01:43We are of the opinion that there will be no absence of seats of parliamentarians in our
01:52parliament area, given that the transition of the coalition was only approved or enforced
02:00on 1 April 2024.
02:04We still believe that we are true members of parliament, we have never left a party
02:11that we joined, we were removed, and for that we are confident that we will remain as members
02:19of parliament and there will be no absence of seats of parliamentarians, God willing.
02:23The six of us are actually waiting, responding, and seeing.
02:31That is our position now.
02:35We are not allowed to meet the Speaker.
02:38There will be a lot of speculations.
02:43I just want to say here once again, this is not in this, but my personal view, I want
02:51you to ask, what caused the six of us to become opponents?
02:59Not us, we are competing to win and become a government.
03:04At that time, everyone knew that the Indonesian Government suggested a coalition between PH
03:12and PN to help the government for political stability and to restore the Malaysian economy
03:24that was in crisis at that time.
03:29But two party leaders decided to become opponents without consulting us, the members of parliament.
03:40We held that position for a year.
03:46We guarded the area without a decision.
03:48When people asked for medical assistance, we had to say that there was no decision.
03:52But we cannot say that there was no decision for five consecutive years.
03:59That is why I said earlier, this is not our choice to be opponents.
04:05This is the decision of the leaders that made us the victims of the situation.
04:09So we chose to go back to the right path, to support the government for the sake of
04:16the people who voted for us.
04:18Based on the statement, we are now members of parliament who are free to support the
04:25government.
04:27That has not changed.
04:31We hope that after this, there will be no more speculation.
04:35Because it is great, here and there, people are saying, tomorrow PRK, LUSA PRK, wait for
04:41the general speaker.
04:42If we say that we are interested in participating in any party, it must be after the end of
04:50the PRU15 term.
04:53By then, we decide.
04:57Mana nak pergi?
