00:00 [Pertama] Alia Ali Amromad from Sarawak also raised the issue of MRSM status in several areas.
00:11 We also, Alia Ali Amromad in Senanjung, raised that issue.
00:16 We are confident that we will look at the construction to be satisfied with the cost of running it.
00:28 In addition to DE, the OE also raised the issue of MRSM status so that there is a balance in terms of expenditure.
00:36 [Pertama] Alia Amromad, I am one of the people who raised the issue of MRSM.
00:45 I am in favor of the construction of MRSM Tanah Merah at the same time as the construction of MRSM Bagan Datuh.
00:55 Unfortunately, Bagan Datuh is almost ready, but Tanah Merah is not ready yet.
01:04 I would like to ask Alia Amromad to make sure that MRSM Tanah Merah is ready.
01:11 I hope it becomes a reality.
01:13 And if it is ready, Alia Amromad, maybe Tanah Merah can be owned by Barisan Nasional.
01:17 Thank you.
01:20 [Alia Amromad] Mr. Chairperson, I have the same question.
01:24 In relation to the MRSM status, I also raised the issue that when the construction was delayed, the cost of construction increased by several percent.
01:37 That is one of the reasons.
01:39 Even though the government has spent more than 10 million for the construction of the land,
01:45 the MRSM is still not ready to be built.
01:51 So, I would like to ask the government to be more attentive.
01:54 In the case of Tanah Merah, the MRSM is also very important.
01:58 But if Amno wants to go back, I don't think he will.
02:02 He will be strong.
02:03 Thank you.
02:04 [Alia Amromad] Mr. Chairperson, the same issue applies to MRSM.
02:09 The MRSM has been taken over by the government.
02:17 Please consider the construction of MRSM in Jemaah Berhumat.
02:24 As a replacement.
02:25 But Jemaah Berhumat, Tanah Merah has bought the ninth RMK.
02:30 After a minister has been completely changed, many ministers have changed their positions.
02:37 I hope that in Jemaah Berhumat, it will become a reality.
02:42 I don't know when it will be ready.
02:44 We want to make it a reality.
02:47 Jemaah Berhumat, the land is already there.
02:50 Next to the TLDM building.
02:52 The land is free.
02:53 Let the TLDM claim it.
02:56 There is no school of asrama in Jemaah Berhumat.
02:58 I would like to thank the attention of the members of Jemaah Berhumat.
03:04 As mentioned in Tanah Merah, if the members of Jemaah Berhumat come back here soon, it will be easier.
03:14 We will make it soon.
03:16 Personally and officially, I would like to thank the BERA.
03:21 Who has passed and implemented the MRSM program in Bagadatuk.
03:27 Actually, it's not me who passed it, it's the BERA.
03:30 So, thank you.
03:31 Officially, it has already been carried out.
03:33 MRSM Ulul Albab, who not only set up an academic program in the IGCSE, but also they are the Hufas.
03:44 Hafal 30 Juzuk, and they will become professional family.
03:49 This is what we do.
03:51 For Tanah Merah, the previous settlement was 100 million.
03:56 Now, the cost is increasing to 126.86 million.
04:05 Sik, the previous cost was 99.4 million.
04:11 Now, the cost is 121.04 million.
04:15 Keterih, 120 million.
04:19 Previously, it was 136.7 million.
04:22 For Lumut, the land is still MRSM land.
04:28 And, God willing, we pray that if Lumut returns to BN quickly, we will implement Lumut.
04:36 Thank you.
