00:10That's a separate issue. I don't think it has anything to do with what happened in Sabah.

00:41I don't want to comment on that.

00:43The government is in charge of this matter.

00:51I don't know.

00:53I'm afraid someone else will answer after this.

00:56I don't know.

01:14I read the comments from political analysts.

01:18Many of them wrote on social media.

01:25They all have their own perspectives.

01:28I conclude that this is an effort to strengthen our national unity

01:35so that we can have a stronger political benefit

01:40before we face a riot in Penang.

01:42So that we can be a better alternative to the current government.

01:46I have no comment on that.
