00:00 As we all know, the Palestinian Security and the Palestinian Authority are now being investigated by the SPRM.
00:08 The Palestinian Security also wants to emphasize that 41 accounts have been frozen by the SPRM
00:15 because the investigation is under the pretext of the Prohibition of money transfer,
00:20 the prohibition of the financing of violence and the results of illegal activities.
00:26 The 41 accounts in the 2001 Latfarpua case are not all owned by the Palestinian Security,
00:35 but are owned by the Strategic Fellow of the Palestinian Security and the accounts of the SPRM.
00:43 To this day, the assets have been frozen.
00:47 These are 12 land plots, 4 buildings, 4 cars, including RM15,868,762, which is the result of the donations of the Malaysian people.
01:04 All of these assets are only for investment,
01:09 which are allowed under the Memorandum and the Articles of the Palestinian Security,
01:19 to increase the Palestinian Security's ability to provide humanitarian assistance,
01:22 and not for the personal purpose of the Palestinian Security.
01:28 All of these assets are obtained with legal results and not from the expected sources.
01:36 The SPRM is an investigation agency.
01:39 As an investigator, the SPRM must act fairly in its investigation.
01:44 The SPRM has no power to judge.
01:47 That is the task and the field of power of the judicial system in the court.
01:52 Why was this action taken only one day after the Palestinian Security announced the money transfer
01:59 for the Cold Season Assistance Campaign and during the arms race?
02:05 Was this action taken by the SPRM?
02:08 How did the SPRM find out that the account must be frozen,
02:11 where the money must be transferred to the very critical period?
02:16 The current situation is critical.
02:18 The arms race was announced,
02:20 you froze the account and you released such a statement.
02:25 This is what we want to protest and this is what we want to convey to the SPRM.
02:31 The SPRM, for three days, you froze the account.
02:34 We need to do our job.
02:36 We will file the action in the court and we will use all our experience,
02:44 all of it, God willing, and also many other lawyers who will help to bring the SPRM to the face of the judges.
02:50 We want a decision that is passed in the court.
02:53 Because we feel, as I said earlier, this is not money for fun,
02:58 this is money to help people.
03:01 It cannot be frozen.
03:02 Before, the last one, was two weeks after the war.
03:07 Two weeks after the war, at the beginning of the war, we sent Rp. 500,000.
03:12 And two weeks after the war, we managed to send Rp. 2.5 million to the Palestinian people.
03:19 That is what we call the total of the aid that we managed to send.
03:23 Before, the Palestinian security account was frozen, it was Rp. 3 million.
03:29 And actually, after that, there was no plan to send more,
03:33 but we were stopped and we could not send the aid.
