00:00Ladies and gentlemen, it has not rained for a long time.
00:09We have made a very difficult decision not to postpone the SPM examination after holding several good sessions.
00:20Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to emphasize that this decision is the result of a consultation
00:26and a consultation that took into account all the circumstances, atmosphere, and issues.
00:34What are the considerations?
00:36Where is the lightest mudarat?
00:38Akhafuturarat.
00:40And after that, we made a decision.
00:42I was also with the SGRU in Kelantan.
00:44During my stay in Kelantan, Dato' Zamri knew that he was with me.
00:49Did he ask me to wait?
00:51No.
00:52Did he ask us to consider?
00:56No.
00:57What was his answer?
00:59Ambo ikut belakuk.
01:01Sokong belakuk to sell KPM.
01:04Ambo bicara dengan Dato' Zamri.
01:06Betul Dato' Zamri kan?
01:08Dato' Zamri.
01:09Ya.
01:10Kereh belakuk.
01:13So, don't we have empathy for our children?
01:16Not at all.
01:18Because of the high level of empathy and love for our children, we made the decision.
01:27I went to Terengganu recently to see the frustration and support of the children's psychosocial.
01:37After the flood.
01:39So, one of the questions I asked the children in Terengganu.
01:44Are there any children in Terengganu?
01:46Oh, there are.
01:47Alhamdulillah.
01:49How are you feeling today?
01:52Better than yesterday.
02:01So, what is your target for SPM?
02:04Sembilan A.
02:08You see, I don't care about your tongue-lish.
02:11But I want to see your confidence.
02:14Memang betul anak-anak kita tak ada isu-isu tersebut.
02:18Saya tanya masa makan ikan bawan masak kicap black pepper.
02:24Sebab sedap sungguh.
02:26Saya tanya, apa perasaan?
02:30Ada marah pada saya ke sebab teruskan pemeriksaan?
02:34Tak ada.
02:36Tak ada seperti marah pun.
02:41Tapi saya nak kongsi dengan YB.
02:44Kami naik buk 4 jam.
02:46Jam, jam, jam.
02:50Senang, YB.
02:54Tapi dalam keseluruhan itu, soalan terakhir dia yang mengagumkan saya.
02:58YB, pergi tak pergi Mayang Mall?
03:01Apa tak sengaja pergi JEM?
03:06Ini nak menunjukkan bahawa apa yang mereka lalui itu adalah pertambahan kepada kematangan.
03:16Keselesaan mereka untuk berinteraksi dengan kita.
03:20Dan memahami keputusan kita itu dengan sebaik-baik keputusan.
03:25Hakikatnya, dari 2 hingga 5 Desember 2014, peratusan kehadiran calon SPM untuk 3 negeri yang paling terjejas ialah 97.54%.
03:38Di Klangan, 98.01% di Terengganu dan 97.94% di Kedah.
03:49Ketiga-tiganya berada di atas paras peratusan kehadiran keseluruhan, yaitu 97.49%.
03:58Angka bersuara lebih lantang kerana angka-angka ini adalah hasil kerja keras daripada semua yang meredah air untuk memastikan anak-anak kita sampai ke Dewan Pemeriksaan dengan selamat.
04:10Saya faham sentimen yang menderas di sebalik kritikan yang menghujani diri saya dan KPM.
04:16Namun saya tetap mempertahankan pendekatan yang kita ambil ketika berdepan dengan mihnah banjir.
04:22Yaitu kita cuba sedaya upaya mengurangkan impak banjir terhadap 1.3% calon di kawasan terjejas tanpa kita mencetuskan masalah baru kepada 98.7% calon SPM yang layak di seluruh Malaysia.
04:38Izinkan saya kongsi sedikit perangkali pengalaman ketika melawan anak-anak di kawasan terjejas.
04:43Perangkali satu sisi yang tersorok dari pandangan umum tak kalah sesetengah orang cuba menanggu I.D. Group dengan pelbagai tuduhan dan makian.
04:51Saya ingin kongsikan bahwa anak-anak kita jauh lebih kental daripada apa yang kita lihat dan apa yang kita saksikan.
04:59Dan pengajaran ini yang ingin saya kongsikan jangan kita sesekali meragui kemampuan anak-anak kita.
05:06Apabila berlaku sesuatu yang belum ditemui ataupun jangka panjangnya, kita lakukan segala yang mampu bersama dan insyaAllah anak-anak kita akan lihat bagaimana keputusan-keputusan itu kita ambil.
05:19Pastinya juga untuk kepentingan mereka.
