00:00We are taking all the claims seriously. That's why I said that our cooperation with the PDRM,
00:23our briefing that we always get from the PDRM,
00:28especially to ensure that we can handle these issues as a team.
00:32Meaning, not only in the school level, but also to get guidance from the PDRM,
00:38especially on how we can handle this from time to time.
00:41We take all the issues related to drugs, bullying, as mentioned by Datuk Wan just now seriously.
00:46It's all in our framework and radar to ensure that we can really control it,
00:52especially with the guidelines that we have and disciplinary actions at the school level.
00:57If there is a disciplinary action at the school level, will there be any compromise?
01:05There will be no compromise. If we get the complaint, we will take action against the school regulations.
01:11Because we have repeatedly said, I remember me, KP, Datuk Cashew have repeatedly said
01:18that there is no compromise in terms of discipline, it must be reported.
01:23Because we have the SOP, the report must be carried out,
01:27then the process of discussion with parents and the community, including the liaison officer,
01:33who will guide us in these cases.
01:35So it cannot be hidden, it must be reported.
01:39And we ask the PDRM and JPN to also pay attention to this issue.
01:43Is there a team from the school that is not involved in the drug case?
01:48I think we are there, we can share it, no problem.
