00:00In addition, I have also ordered the establishment of a Special Administrative Office for the
00:06monitoring of the breathing regulations starting from 7 February until 31 October 2024.
00:14The results of the report from this Special Administrative Office state that there is a
00:20need to implement improvements, reforms, if not using reforms.
00:29On the breathing regulations.
00:37Please summarize the answer, Minister.
00:41In this matter, the registrars of the Ministry of Defence have depended on the
00:47Breathing Regulatory Agency in full force on 1 November 2024.
00:53According to the regulations, the breathing is now administered by the administrator,
00:58appointed by the registrar, which is subject to the instructions of the registrar.
01:03At the same time, the registrar has also appointed an advisory council to advise the
01:09registrar and administrator based on the guidelines under Section 701 of the Land Registration Act
01:18of 1973.
01:19The report of the Land Registration Agency will be reported to the Ministry of Defence
01:28from time to time.
01:31During this period, the Land Registration Agency will monitor the breathing regulations
01:38in addition to improving the regulations and the breathing regulations in order to
01:44ensure that the breathing is operating in accordance with Section 7 and the spirit of
01:51breathing improvement in accordance with the regulations in force.
01:56As such, several strategies, reforms and Section 7 of the Ministry and the Land Registration
02:03Agency in restructuring the breathing have been outlined.
02:08If everything is ready, who will be the Minister of Agriculture after this?
02:12It will be easier to work.
02:14And if other governments take over, it will be easier to work because we have put it
02:19in the correct order.
02:24Minister, I want to ask about how long will the breathing be suspended?
02:29And secondly, I want to ask about the budget issue.
02:35I am representing the farmers who are asking.
02:38The budget contract will end on 31 December.
02:45But in January, it is still the planting season.
02:51So, will the Ministry continue the contract for breathing or not?
02:58One more piece of information is that the PAC will hold a proceeding regarding breathing
03:04and we hope that it will be a finding and propose a better regulation to the Ministry
03:10so that we can reform the breathing so that it will take care of the farmers, not take
03:16care of the interests of the leaders, several leaders above.
03:25This is the third suspension.
03:27The first is under the Minister of Agriculture, Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim.
03:33The second is under the Minister of Agriculture, Datuk Sri Saludin Ayub.
03:39The third is under the Minister of Agriculture, Muhammad Sabu.
03:45This time, we will see the recommendation from the parties to the regulation.
03:55It will be completed and there is a good understanding.
03:59Then we will lift the suspension with amendments under the power of the Minister and the power
04:05of the Ministry, as advised by the Legislative Council.
04:09We will take the opinion of the Minister of Agriculture and the Ministry of Agriculture
04:15so that when we lift the suspension, it will be carried out properly and there will be
04:22no power over the future.
04:27The question is, are these people involved in the fraud?
04:33Because now they are in the investigation stage and the SPRM has entered.
04:38And we don't want to accuse anyone.
04:43Whether it's a former minister or a former minister or a minister now, don't accuse
04:48or accuse.
04:49The important thing is that we ask the SPRM to investigate and we cooperate.
04:54And their report or application, we hope will not say that it will only be an election
05:01application.
05:02This is what we do and we hope.
05:06After this, with many problems, because all, we say not only Nafas.
05:12All government agencies sometimes face problems.
05:16There is when the government acts, for example, a bill out and the company has succeeded
05:22until today.
05:23For example, the People's Bank.
05:25How many of them are now sitting in the best bank in Malaysia?
05:32This is how we used to face problems.
05:35Nafas will recover and will be in a good place.
05:39God willing.
