00:00This morning, for the information of the media, a special power meeting has been held to deal with the corruption of Tamak Johor.
00:10This meeting, as it is known, was postponed by the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Fadilah, who has just finished postponing the meeting.
00:23We have accepted the challenge of the implementation of the QR code in a proof-of-concept manner
00:36for the implementation of immigration in the building of Sultan Iskandar and the Sultan Abu Bakar complex.
00:44For those of you who are following this, you know that at the beginning of June this year,
00:50we have announced that the proof-of-concept using the QR code will be carried out.
00:58It was originally scheduled to end on 30 August, but we continued until 30 November.
01:04So, on June 1, 2024, the proof-of-concept using the QR code began, and this will continue until 30 November.
01:14However, based on a timely report, analysis and data on the use of this QR code,
01:24although it is still in the POC category, for two modes of transportation, namely bus passengers and motorcyclists.
01:36This proof-of-concept only covers two modes of transport.
01:42Why two? Because these two represent 80% of the 4,000 daily travellers.
01:49So, the Parliament has agreed that the use of the QR code will not be terminated.
02:02It has agreed to terminate the procurement process in the term of the financial year.
02:10That was the first decision.
02:12The POC has been terminated.
02:15So, the Parliament has agreed that the basic decision is to terminate the procurement process in the term of the financial year.
02:26Second, the Parliament has also agreed that the scope of the use of the QR code in all other modes and modes of transportation will be carried out in parallel.
02:39Whereas we now have two, bus and motorcycle passengers.
02:43After this, other modes of transport.
02:45So, the Parliament has agreed that the use of this QR code will be expanded to other modes of transportation.
02:53That was the second decision.
02:55First, the procurement process will be terminated in the term of the financial year.
02:59Second, the Parliament has agreed that the scope will also be used for other modes of transportation.
03:07When will it be expanded?
03:11When will it be expanded? We hope next year.
03:15Whether it's the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, fourth quarter, we will update the media.
03:21But if it becomes our wish, next year.
03:24Why next year?
03:25First, next year is Malawak Malaysia year.
03:28Sorry, 2025.
03:32We are also the manager of ASEAN.
03:34And we expect that the route in Tampak Johor, in Tampak Johor next year,
03:41ASEAN's Malawak year, Malaysia's Malawak year, ASEAN's manager year,
03:46we expect that based on the 70-something percent increase, but with the campaign and all that,
03:51the route in Tampak Johor will receive up to Rp150 million a year.
04:00Okay?
04:01Compared to now, Rp116 million.
04:03Now it's Rp116 million a year.
04:05In 2023, it will be Rp116 million.
04:07But we expect that with the campaign and all that,
04:11and Singapore is the number one contributor to tourism in ASEAN,
04:16which came to Malaysia.
04:17ASEAN, right?
04:18Number two, Thailand.
04:19So, because of that, we are optimistic.
04:24We hope that we will be able to implement the expansion for other destinations next year.
