00:00In the issue of solving the problem of poverty that we in the civil society make it a pillar,
00:10it must be fought because it involves efforts of various dimensions.
00:16The change must be structural.
00:19This is what was said by the leftist economist Samir Amin,
00:27understanding the society first,
00:30studying the society, not just introducing a few projects.
00:37And what we see now also involves the issue of governance.
00:43Don't think in the implementation, only implementing projects.
00:49We see what the basis is clear.
00:53Because it also involves structural change.
00:57Which was then passed on by Professor Aziz in 1960-1961
01:05and also Syed Hussein Ali,
01:09one of the famous community scholars,
01:12who talked about the order of layers in the society
01:15and saw from the point of view of the local community,
01:19from the point of view of religion, attitude, wealth, character.
01:36Although they don't emphasize the character,
01:39the issue of what I call wisdom,
01:42about religion, attitude,
01:44that's what we then, the ideas of the young people,
01:47the 70s are stronger in emphasizing that,
01:49so that there is a clear balance.
01:51He started by looking at the source of poverty, according to Uncle Aziz.
01:56What is it?
01:57The issue of capital and land,
02:00the issue of marketing,
02:01which is called low capital,
02:03irregularities in the marketing infrastructure,
02:07for example, selling fish at Remes beach is RM2,
02:13up to Ipoh is RM6,
02:18up to KL is RM12.
02:21So, there is irregularity,
02:23this irregularity will not help to serve the poor.
02:27So, if we do the project as the government does,
02:30help the poor people at Remes beach,
02:35but it does not correct the oppression of the middle class,
02:43it will also show that there is an imbalance of that base.
02:49If you ask, all kinds are there.
02:51What is lacking in Malaysia?
02:53It is called marketing,
02:55fish,
02:56before fish, now fish farming.
02:58Farming,
03:00and farming institutions,
03:02what else?
03:03Just mention the problem, there is an agency,
03:07small farmers, RISDA,
03:12VELCRA,
03:14landowners, VELDA,
03:18but is that agency managed and managed?
03:26No, there the program is smooth and responsible.
03:35Part of it, part of it is not.
