00:00I would like to ask a question to the students and lecturers.

00:05Last night there was a meeting with the KPM to determine the mechanism.

00:09Do you understand that there is a suggestion to learn from the students

00:13to go to a place where they can learn?

00:15Yes, I think that is one of the initial actions that we achieved

00:21after discussions at the level of the Ministry of Education of Malaysia

00:24and the level of security.

00:26And we made sure that among all the students who were identified

00:31who crossed the Golok River,

00:33there were at least 104 Malaysian students.

00:38So, we identified these students and we carried out a series of actions.

00:44First, we discussed with their heirs to place them in an ashram.

00:50So, for me, this needs to be done immediately

00:53to ensure that the process mentioned by the security must be completed

00:59before 1st December.

01:01So, we have taken the approach to prepare them,

01:05to place them in an ashram

01:08and make sure that they can live in an ashram for their safety

01:14and to continue their education.

01:16That is the first thing.

01:17Secondly, there are still students who need a pass to cross the Golok River

01:24but we have also taken a strict action to ensure that

01:27if there is a need to cross the Golok River,

01:29they must use the correct route and the correct pass.

01:33So, at the level of the Ministry of Education of Malaysia,

01:35that is a very crucial and significant action that we have taken

01:40to ensure that their access to education can be continued.

01:43Secondly, their safety.

01:45Because of that, I also asked the Director-General to ensure

01:49at the level of JPN Kelantan,

01:51this ashram must be completed

01:53to ensure that the issue of safety does not arise after 1st December.

01:58So, God willing, in our thinking and actions,

02:04I hope we can complete it

02:06because the number of students is not many under the Ministry of Education of Malaysia

02:09which means that we need to complete and manage it, God willing.
