00:00The various efforts have been carried out.

00:09Both from the human side,

00:12the individuals who entered to search,

00:15in the conditions allowed,

00:17using technology with cameras and other things.

00:21All possibilities,

00:23possibilities have been made,

00:26including in the SeaWorld system,

00:28including to IWK's lodges and so on,

00:33on the inland coast.

00:35It seems that the efforts to find this have not yet succeeded.

00:38Today, the search and rescue team will focus on this area.

00:43It is hoped and we pray that this effort will be facilitated

00:48and achieve success.

00:50Whatever it is, we will still talk to the family members

00:54and also the Indian High Commission

00:57to update them on the developments.

01:00But most importantly, we have to look at the overall situation.

01:04If our media colleagues can see,

01:07this area has been the second most affected area.

01:13So for that, we have to look at the public safety,

01:17the safety of the public.

01:19And on our side, for IWK,

01:23I have instructed to conduct an integrity audit.

01:27This means that we have to check the overall situation of this area.

01:30Because what is the source of this?

01:32That will happen after today's meeting,

01:36now is the search and rescue.

01:38The second is when the search and rescue is over,

01:42it is for us to conduct an integrity audit.

01:44And after this, I will also call on the relevant parties,

01:49including the BKL,

01:51all the utilities,

01:53for us to see what are the utilities under this land

01:57for us to conduct a post mortem.

02:00And see how we want to ensure

02:04that in the future this will not happen again.

02:08For us to conduct an audit

02:11and also see the entire system of our transmission.

02:15As soon as it happens, we know where the source is,

02:18where we want to look for it and so on.

02:21And next is the second,

02:23for us to conduct an integrity audit,

02:25see what is the source,

02:27where is the source,

02:29why is this happening.

02:31And third, the actions that need to be carried out

02:35to improve the whole system.

02:40Okay?

02:41Mr. Swee, for the time being,

02:43is this still an initiative?

02:45For now, it is.

02:47Therefore,

02:49those places that are prohibited,

02:51do not enter first.

02:53But that is why I said earlier,

02:55we need to conduct an integrity audit.

02:58Because sometimes there is a new development

03:02that is being carried out.

03:04So we want to know

03:06where the source is and so on.

03:09So I think, God willing,

03:11we pray for the best.

03:13God willing, it will be safe.

03:15So follow all the instructions

03:18or notifications from the authorities.

03:21Especially in this area, namely in BKL.
