00:53in Bahastrad and Malaysia, we have a plan to sell our EVs in the country, which is CKD.
01:03So I see that this is important for driving EVs,
01:09between the beach and the showroom.
01:13So that's why I'm here to provide support.
01:18And because the ecosystem of our EVs must continue to build,
01:23to ensure that the EVs are more sustainable.
01:28And we hope that Malaysia will become a country, not only using EVs,
01:33but will become a country that will even be able to produce EVs in one day.
01:39Talking about the EV because of the U.S. directives or the modern vehicles,
01:44how does Malaysia intend to balance attracting foreign EV investment,
01:48safeguarding the competitiveness of our national brands?
01:51Well, this is something that you have to ask EV.
01:53So I'm not in a position to answer that, right?
01:56So I think the strategy and the policies of EV is better to be answered by EV.
02:00Of course, we as PMBOT, we fully support the adoption of EV,
02:04that is part of our NETR, that is part of our national transport policy.
02:09We want to go towards more decarbonisation, more environmental-friendly transport system.
02:14So EV adoption is, of course, one of the pillars under the national transport policy,
02:19and we fully support at BT on that.
02:22And we want to make Malaysia as a hub for EV.
02:25One, two, three. Come on, one, three.
02:30Three.
02:31All right?
