00:00Congratulations GNT Malaysia on your 6th anniversary!
00:30Palestine and I would like to invite all the people who live far or near to come to Asiata Arena in Bukit Jalil.
00:43Tomorrow starts at 6.30pm by Hadi and we will have a number of events, a few speeches and we will gather together as a sign of solidarity for the people and the state of Palestine.
01:00About the connection, before there was a connection with Palestine, was there a lot of concessions?
01:08Concessions were made by the platform.
01:14I have contacted the META and given them assurances. We did not see this happening on TikTok, but we saw it happening on META.
01:26So I have given assurances and warnings to the META team that tomorrow night we will have this event, the gathering of Palestine's liberation and there will be a live broadcast.
01:41And I ask that they cooperate.
01:45Tomorrow night we will have a gathering. On Monday, the META team will come and meet with the government.
01:52So we want the meeting to go smoothly and we want there to be no disturbance to the broadcast, including on Facebook Live, TikTok Live and other platforms.
02:06Because the META team has informed that for the heads of state or heads of government and officials or ministers,
02:18there is a special consideration when discussing the issue of Palestine.
02:29This has been assured to me by the META officials.
02:36So I want to see them translate to walk the talk by ensuring that the broadcast, not only on Facebook Live, but also on other media platforms,
02:49will not be disturbed as long as the gathering continues.
02:54Thank you so much to all members of the media. Due to limited time available, we have to move to the next session.
03:25I have been informed of what is actually happening, but I want them to come first to give a full explanation.
03:33There are a few questions that we want to ask. And shortly after the meeting, we will issue a statement.
03:54Thank you.
