00:00Q. Dr Sri, how is the condition of the Palestinians who were brought to Malaysia?

00:04They are okay. I believe that we will give a thorough and fair treatment.

00:13So, for now, they are being treated.

00:18They cannot be treated for a day.

00:20This is a long term.

00:22This is a type of injury that requires a long term treatment.

00:28Q. Dr Sri, will there be more people from Palestine?

00:31It will depend. It will depend for the government to decide.

00:34At the moment, that's it.

00:36Q. Dr Sri, is there an NGO that uses the name of the Palestinians to destroy the land?

00:40I think we don't use it.

00:45We don't support it in any way.

00:49Because, I think the government and the hospital will open a link.

00:56Anyone who wants to donate can use that link.

00:59That's all for now.

01:01If there is anything, the government will release a statement.

01:04But for now, if there are parties,

01:07for example, for the Palestinian victims who are being treated,

01:10I believe they will ask us to check.

01:12We are asking people to help.

01:16But we are asking for a direct link.

01:20I think the government will release a statement.
