01:01The decision of the jury is final.
01:03It cannot be changed.
01:04It cannot be brought to court.
01:08The suggestion that was proposed,
01:13was put forward by the former prime minister,
01:16Datu Setia Noor Ibrahim,
01:18through the 2024 Sponsorship Speech,
01:21gives a focus,
01:23gives focus,
01:25to complete the basic facilities in the village area,
01:30which may be a little out of the development of the primary line.
01:35Overall, the government has recognized and allocated RM100 million
01:42for 42 rural villages across the country,
01:47with a maximum allocation of 2.5 million per village.

03:07Congratulations again to Bukit Badong and Harmony,
03:11especially the village chiefs,
03:13Tok Zul Hizam and Tok Nasir.
03:17As a focus on health,
03:21and I am the representative of the people here,
03:25and I also play a role as Minister of Health,
03:29then the focus for these two village chiefs of the Ministry of Health,
03:34the first is the screening and health check.
03:38That is very important.
03:40Today, people know,
03:42as a minister,
03:43we will not only focus on things related to hospital development.
03:51Because the hospital,
03:53after we go,
03:55we get sick.
03:56That is not health care,
03:58that is called sick care.
04:01I often say,
04:03that is sick care.
04:04The Indonesians are smart,
04:05they say, what kind of house is that?
04:06That is a hospital.
04:09What really takes care of health is a clinic.
04:13What do we call it?
04:14A clinic?
04:15KKK health clinic.
04:18That is why,
04:19I am very patient,
04:20I make a promise,
04:22from curative care,
04:23sick care,
04:24reactive care,
04:25to only go to the hospital,
04:27there will be no stop,
04:29the crisis,
04:30I give a commitment,
04:31to health care,
04:33in clinics,
04:34more than 3,000 health clinics across the country,
04:37which we will do,
04:38the first is,
04:39screening.
04:41These two factors,
04:42diabetes,
04:43high blood pressure,
04:44is a higher income,
04:49in a study,
04:50health and mobility survey,
04:53in 2023,
04:54the latest,
04:56only a slight decrease,
04:58diabetes,
04:59and also high blood pressure,
05:01and also a slight decrease in cholesterol,
05:05but,
05:06the fourth factor,
05:07in all four,
05:09body weight,
05:12excess body weight,
05:13and obesity,
05:14still remains.
05:15One in two Malaysians,
05:18is obese,
05:20or,
05:21excess body weight,
05:2354%.
05:24So,
05:25how do I handle this,
05:27I want to summarize,
05:28is,
05:29screening,
05:30screening,
05:31screening.
