00:00 I want to make a statement related to the media statement made by a free candidate who has also denied my name.

00:15 I am a victim of a free candidate who has been disqualified. On the contrary, the leadership has chosen the current candidate, Dato' Amizah Abu Adam.

00:39 Indeed, I have never contacted him, talked to him, and if there are any bad statements,

00:57 this can also affect my reputation as a member of the Ketua Umno Bahagian, that he has never contacted me to become a free candidate.

01:14 Therefore, I want to say to the media that this free candidate states his position personally.

01:27 I also insist that I did not invite him to compete as a free candidate in the 036 Pelangai.

01:40 I hope that the media and the voters in the Pelangai don't be affected by what the free candidate has said.

01:59 Thank you for listening to me.
