00:00 I am honored to be the Prime Minister and President of UMNO, and also the President of Ibarasan National.
00:24 You caught me by surprise.
00:30 But if there is anything that comes from surprise, it is actually a good thing because it comes from our hearts.
00:36 I would like to thank the leadership for choosing me.
00:48 I was sent to Kemaman and I was the one who sewed the sewing machine.
00:56 Because for me, it was a call of duty to fulfill this responsibility.
01:06 I served for more than 40 years, 42-43 years in the service.
01:14 I am now 66 years old.
01:20 In terms of my age and what I have been through, I have been thinking for a long time.
01:28 Because I think when I was offered this offer, I think it is about time for me to give back what I have for 40 years.
01:43 Back to our country.
01:47 Especially for the branch in Kemaman 040.
01:57 I think that's all I can say.
02:01 From the bottom of my heart, I would like to say thank you.
02:04 And for the trust, the trust is a very high value.
02:11 And I will try to determine the trust, I will pay it back.
02:19 If the people in the middle of the room say, "We voted, you will see." Thank you.
02:30 As-salamu alaykum.
02:33 As-salamu alaykum.
