00:00 Long live the president!
00:05 I am very surprised by the announcement by the president
00:13 to not present himself in the party election for the upcoming election.
00:20 Which we will have next year, God willing.
00:23 So we can see the response.
00:27 It is suddenly from all the representatives
00:32 who are refusing the proposal
00:36 brought by the president to not present himself.
00:40 While earlier we heard from the honorable Dato' Sri Stusa Agung
00:48 that the members of the party do not need to worry.
00:54 The leaders will discuss with the president
00:58 and find the best way because we have a view.
01:02 In the Party, the leadership of the president is very crucial
01:09 for the survival of the Party.
01:14 We will discuss it.
01:17 I believe that Mr. Sri President is one of the founders of this party.
01:24 He started this party in his office.
01:30 Then the operations department started in his personal office.
01:35 The people were printed in his office.
01:39 Of course he will put the importance of the voice of the members
01:44 of the party before making a decision.
01:48 Although he has said that he will not present himself.
01:53 But I am sure that his love for this party
01:57 will be taken seriously
02:02 in the speeches of the representatives
02:07 that we will hear this afternoon until tomorrow.
02:11 I hope that the voice of the members of the party
02:15 will be taken seriously by the speakers of the party.
02:20 So, it is clear that I personally as a member of the party
02:26 do not agree with the hope of Mr. Sri.
02:32 It was my first time. I was very shocked.
02:35 I told him that I was not happy with his announcement.
02:41 Why didn't any of you on the stage understand Mr. Sri's statement?
02:45 I was in shock.
02:49 But I thought that I should give the opportunity to the representatives
02:56 to show their response to his statement.
03:01 I was very upset.
03:06 I thought that we started the party together.
03:11 And to announce that he will present himself,
03:15 that can be discussed.
03:18 Given the chance, would you protest for the presidency post?
03:22 No way. I am not going to run against Tan Sri President No. 1.
03:25 He is still my president. I will protect him with my life.
03:30 If he is not going to protest in the ex-presidency post,
03:33 would you take the chance to win?
03:35 Let's not go there.
03:36 Because today we see that the members of the party
03:39 clearly stand up and reject the proposal of Mr. Sri
03:44 to not present himself.
03:47 I am sure that the young people here, the party here,
03:49 we are with him.
03:51 We need his leadership and we want him to continue.
03:55 What are your thoughts on the future of Mr. Sri
03:57 so that Mr. Sri will not be contested?
03:59 I have mentioned it earlier.
04:00 I suggest to the speakers,
04:03 to voice their opinions.
04:06 This is a democratic party.
04:08 Everyone can speak.
04:09 The politicians will not allow them to give their time
04:12 to give their own arguments.
04:14 And I believe that Mr. Sri President is very grateful
04:17 and loves the party that he founded himself.
04:20 And will listen.
04:22 And I hope and pray to Allah
04:24 that he will make a decision after hearing
04:27 what the people have to say.
04:30 [applause]
04:35 [silence]
