00:00With regard to the recent statements by PAS, Adun, that said some stuff about the Chinese,
00:10do you think that it's time the Perikatan National gave a gag order on any of the leaders?
00:17What did he say?
00:18About Hannah Yeoh being, I mean, saying things which are unrelated.
00:23No such thing as gag order.
00:25I think I would expect members, irrespective of PAS, other PN members,
00:34when they speak on certain issues, they have to be guarded, must be based on facts.
00:42I'm not citing whoever it is, it's a fact.
00:45And of course to ensure that they should not create unnecessary problems.
00:52I think we emphasise, especially on this Chinese New Year,
00:56issue of national unity, better understanding of races in Malaysia.
01:05I think times must now come up to the point that we have to be together again.
01:11Reset Malaysia in terms of looking forward that this country is for all.
01:18As long as they are Malaysian citizens, they should respect each other's sentiments.
01:24And I think this is what PN stands for anyway.
01:27If there is such a statement by individuals, that should not be representative of the party position.
01:35Our party position is very clear.
01:37We are multiracial.
01:39We respect the views of everyone.
01:43And when you say something, it has to be based on facts.
01:46Of course guarded by law and constitution of the country.
