00:00The Central Executive Committee has decided to help the Union of Government Candidates
00:11to defend the DUN Makkota.
00:15We will move our troops and we have appointed the Deputy Prime Minister of Makkota
00:22because the DUN Makkota is already in the Parliament.
00:25The Parliament of Makkota is a holy place for the DAP to help the campaign.
00:33We are always on the ground because that is our area.
00:39We don't need special operations.
00:43Of course, there are additional operations in terms of the campaign and so on.
00:46But it is under the Parliament of Makkota.
00:50We have our security forces there.
00:52We have our branches there.
00:55We have our full-time officers in that area.
00:58And all of that will be moved to help the Union of Government Candidates.
01:03We will try as hard as we can to convince the voters to vote for the Union of Government Candidates.
01:11That is what I would like to say.
01:12Our current narrative is that the Malaysian economy is recovering.
01:19And we have seen many new healthy indicators.
01:24Good GDP growth.
01:26Increased trade value.
01:28Our currency value is also increasing.
01:30So all of this is a positive sign.
01:33In addition, there is a lot of economic development in Johor.
01:38A lot of new investments in Johor.
01:41A lot of big transportation and infrastructure projects are happening in Johor.
01:47Including in Keluang.
01:49In a few months' time, when the infrastructure is ready to move to Johor Bahru, it will pass through Keluang.
01:55So, of course, Keluang will also benefit from this development.
