00:00I would like to respect the Prime Minister, before the general election on the 15th of September,
00:08he has declared his assets. And the assets are true. This is not a slander against PMX.
00:12The assets owned by PMX, he himself declared with RM values.
00:1711.4 million is true.
00:19However, the assets can not be accepted by friends.
00:24Because from Love Money, if from Bulletin Mutiara, maybe.
00:28But this is because of the Western media that you do not want.
00:34If it can be considered, maybe it can be considered.
00:38So I am ready to pull the list that I mentioned,
00:44PMX is in the 17th ranking.
00:47Leaders, this is not a corporate figure, not a businessman,
00:53but this is a leader, either from the Prime Minister or the President of a country.
00:58The 17th ranking, I can pull it, because the source of Love Money is not relevant.
01:04And friends who can refer to Yahoo Finance have also listed what I said here.
01:11So I can pull it back, reduce the ranking.
01:15But the assets of PMX that were declared are true and not slander.
01:20Thank you, Dato' Ian.
01:23So, I want to add one more member.
01:37Next time, I will look at it again.
01:42Anyway, he is one of those who have experience in this field.
01:50And he knows that there are things or references that we can refer to during the discussion.
02:02And usually, he also knows, sometimes there are others who,
02:09after raising the reference materials, are challenged.
02:13And he cannot defend his beliefs.
02:17That is normal.
02:19He is forced to pull it back.
02:23I want to make a ruling.
02:25Like what the speaker said earlier,
02:29pull it back and apologize to this court,
02:33so that he does not make a mistake.
02:35The other thing I want to say is, when politics comes out in this court,
02:40be ready to take responsibility for certain police reports.
02:47In this court, I want to settle this matter here.
02:53Thank you, Dato' Ian Speakers, for what I said earlier.
02:55Because of the list that I presented during the discussion session,
03:01the leader or PMX is in the 17th rank.
03:06The 17th rank is the leader of the country.
03:08In the Philippines, corporations are richer.
03:11PMX is the leader of the country.
03:13So, I pull it back because of the source that I mentioned earlier.
03:16Love money cannot be used as a reference.
03:18Although there are other sources.
03:20On my statement regarding PMX and the list,
03:28put him in the ranking of world leaders,
03:31I pull it back and apologize to everyone.
03:34But what I said earlier is true and not a lie.
