00:00Before I continue my speech, I would like to make it clear that MIC has always been loyal, sincere, and devoted to the National Alliance and UMNO.
00:14This is the foundation of MIC.
00:16And we see that the foundation of our work is based on various factors.
00:21First, the dedication of the presidents of the National Alliance who have become Prime Ministers.
00:29Second, the continued political stability of the Indonesian National Government.
00:35Third, even though we are made up of various ethnic groups, the unity and solidarity between us.
00:43Fourth, and most importantly, the tolerance of the Malays who have accepted all ethnic groups as their fellow citizens to govern this country.
00:54You cannot run away from the facts.
00:56This is the foundation of our work.
00:58And MIC, as a party established in 1946, which is now 78 years old, has played an important role in this success.
01:11Even though UMNO is a large party, MIC and other parties are small, but as a sacrifice, it is not different.
01:19Even though the age of Sebatang Lilin and Sebatang Mancis is different, but the sacrifice of Sebatang Lilin and Sebatang Mancis is almost the same.
01:32It has the same effect.
01:34UMNO, MIC, and MCA are not political parties.
01:39UMNO, MIC, and MCA are not established for the interests of individuals.
01:44UMNO, MIC, and MCA are not established for the interests of individuals.
01:49UMNO, MIC, and MCA are a struggle.
01:53We are not a small party.
01:55We have governed this country for almost 50 years.
01:59This is the first president, even though he is a friend of the Indonesian National Government.
02:03He is loyal to us, he is sincere to us year after year, even though there are no opportunities.
02:07This is the first president of the Indonesian National Government who gives them the opportunity to compete in the national competition.
02:13Is that right?
02:15The first president who gives them the opportunity is Datuk Seri Zahid Amin for the Friends of Indonesian National Government.
02:21If we want to use this formula, Friends of Indonesian National Government, until the last moment, just put up a poster.
02:29That's all.
02:30Therefore, Datuk Seri, before this, even though we have various problems, we managed to overcome them as a national party.
02:39MIC always has an opinion.
02:43In the past, we made a decision, no DAP, no PKR.
02:47Finally, according to your instructions, we agreed to establish a coalition government.
02:52And today, we heard that there is an instruction or an opinion from you.
02:59Therefore, let us, as a national party, do something to give freedom to Datuk Seri Zahid Amin.
03:09Now, PBRS has been in the national party for 30 years.
03:13And we believe that the formula and structure of the national party is still the best for Malaysia as a nation and religion.
03:27And that's why PBRS will remain loyal to the national party.
03:33As a party that has been proven for 50 years to contribute to the development of Malaysia.
03:44No matter what the situation is, no matter what people say,
03:49no one can deny the contribution of the national party to the development of the country for 50 years.
03:59And it has been proven that PBRS as a solid party in the coalition government is the right decision.
04:08Now, our country enjoys political stability.
04:12The image of the country is rising.
04:14The investment of the country is increasing.
04:16And if the political situation is stable,
04:19for the first time in almost 15 years, we have a majority of 2 in 3 in the Parliament.
04:26We can focus our attention to the development of the country.
