00:00We are the ones who can do it!
00:03We are the ones who can do it!
00:07We are the ones who can do it!
00:10We are the ones who can do it!
00:15Don't worry and worry about what is called as a gang.
00:21Because on the part of the state, our attitude is very easy.
00:25If you perform, if you are good and able to perform well,
00:32we have prepared the donations and the money.
00:38We already have a scheme that we have set up for a long time.
00:45We just discussed earlier that there are a few adjustments that we will implement.
00:51Today, because I believe that everyone here has the potential to bring gold to the Selangor region,
01:03I am announcing a lottery for the winner of gold.
01:07Although I will also set up a lottery for the winner of gang and also the winner of perak later.
01:14Because of what?
01:16Because of the gold that will determine us to be the champion of Selangor.
01:21So where is your level? Where is your position?
01:26Remember, everybody has a chance to send or get a gold medal.
01:32Or to contribute a gold medal to the Selangor region.
01:38Indeed, for those who win individually,
01:42in the Sukma campaign this time, the state government will provide a reward of 10,000 ringgit for each gold medal.
01:53The reward is for the team.
01:57For the team, divide it into 5 teams and below.
02:02Teams such as squash, tennis, badminton, sepak takraw, 5 people and below.
02:12Each team member, if the team brings gold, we will give 5,000 ringgit each.
02:23Let's go back to our seats.
02:31For teams of more than 5 people, with a large group,
02:35such as rugby, basketball, basketball, sepak, hockey, whatever else.
02:43And others, we will give a reward of 3,000 ringgit each if your team wins.
02:57I don't want to mention the rank of the juniors or the rank of the seniors here.
03:04Because I know that to win, we need gold.
03:09And in front of me, we need to get as much gold as possible for the team and the Selangor region.
03:16As you all know, the Sukma campaign will be held in Sarawak from 17 August to 24 August 2024.
03:32As a whole, the Selangor region will send 704 athletes, 213 officers and 133 secretaries.
03:45The team will be involved in a total of 37 competitions in the Sukma event.
03:55And the contingent will be led by Mr. Najuan Halimi, SGO Sukan,
04:01and Dato Yazid Sairi as the head of the contingent.
04:09And in Sukma this time, we will try to get the 10th place for the Selangor region contingent.
04:21Because before this, we have won 9 times.
04:24The last time was in Sarawak in 2016.
04:28And our current achievement is in 2022,
04:32where we took the 4th place in total with 32 gold medals.
04:39So I hope with the support given,
04:44with the announcement and lessons that we will give,
04:48we will give more spirit to the achievement of the Sukma Selangor or the Selangor region contingent.
04:56So this is the minimum objective that you set?
05:00Yes, this is the minimum.
05:02What do you think is the significance of the Selangor region contingent in the future?
05:08One of them is the development and change of time.
05:12The time that we set is from 2016 to 2017.
05:18We set this milestone.
05:21So at this time, I think the time has changed,
05:25and we want to improve it.
05:28But we have given a milestone of 5,000.
05:30We gave it when we won in 2016.
05:34So I think we have increased it from the previous number
05:39that we set at 3,500 for a person who won a gold medal.
05:44But according to the change in time,
05:482015 to 2024, which is almost 10 years,
05:52there will be a time for us to review it.
