00:00I would like to refer to the federation's institutions,
00:06especially the 1st and 2nd groups,
00:12which are the states of the federation,
00:17in English, with your permission,
00:20Shaobi Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Penang, Perak, Pelis, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor, and Rengganu.
00:36I mention this because recently,
00:41the Prime Minister of Kedah,
00:44in the Kedah Legislative Council,
00:47reiterated the statement that has the element of blasphemy
00:55and disrespect for the sovereignty of Penang Island,
00:59by stating and reiterating that Penang Island belongs to Kedah.
01:07I would like to emphasize with all my heart
01:10on behalf of the government and the people of Penang Island,
01:14that Penang Island is a sovereign state
01:18under the federation's institution.
01:24So we hope that the Prime Minister of our neighbouring country
01:29will respect us
01:32and do not repeat the words of blasphemy.
01:38If you want to make an official request,
01:42I have said many times,
01:45please bring it to court
01:48and do not waste time
01:51repeating the words of blasphemy outside the court.
01:57I hope that all the members of the government
02:01will join me on this issue,
02:04including the members of the opposition.
02:15Do you want to give your rights to Penang Island,
02:19our country, or to our party leaders?
