00:00We will start the audit written by the Malaysian Student Council.
00:04A total of 402,956 candidates
00:09conducted the audit in 3,337 auditing centres across the country,
00:15involving a total of 44,968 auditors,
00:20including auditing supervisors among volunteers.
00:25One of the most important initiatives
00:35this year is related to auditing supervisors
00:39from volunteers.
00:42This is one of the initiatives to reduce the burden of teachers
00:46as well as provide opportunities for volunteers
00:50to be involved in SPM auditing.
00:54One of the initiatives is related to our preparedness
00:58in the event of floods and natural disasters.
01:06I think we have emphasized and reiterated this several times,
01:12that whatever happens,
01:15preparations at the Malaysian Student Council,
01:17especially at the JPN, PPD,
01:19have been prepared from the beginning.
01:23In the event of floods,
01:27we are ready to activate OAPS Payung once again.
01:32This is among the countries that are at risk,
01:36which we are well aware of.
01:38So far, everything is under control.
01:41We have received several reports related to floods.
01:44However, the remaining candidates
01:47are in the auditing centres
01:51and have been audited at the same school.
01:55Because of floods,
01:58especially in Kelantan,
02:00there are several places in Johor,
02:02as well as our preparations in Sabah, Kedah and Pahang.
02:08Next, this is related to OAPS Payung.
02:14I would like to share with you
02:17that 97% of our candidates have been audited.
02:24This is a positive result.
02:26We are still in the process of updating.
02:30There are still more candidates
02:32who have not been audited yet.
02:36There are more than 10,000 candidates.
02:38We hope that this number can be increased
02:40to ensure that our candidates are audited at SPM.
02:44At the same time,
02:46I think it is important for us to explain
02:49and convey the importance of our special needs candidates
02:53in each country who have been audited at SPM.
02:56Especially in the 9th country,
02:58there are two candidates who are 63 years old
03:01who have been audited at SPM.
03:03So, this is...
03:06You can take it, no problem.
03:08So, this is one of the things that we are looking at
03:13and we fully support our candidates.
03:16This morning, the Director-General,
03:19Dato' KSU and all Directors of the Ministry of State
03:23have visited Kebal
03:27to see the operation of the SPM journey.
03:31They also went to schools,
03:33including those who are respected by the Minister,
03:35together with the teams in each country,
03:38to see our preparations at the school level,
03:42the process, and also the children's well-being.
03:46There are children who we know for sure
03:49who have been audited at the hospital due to illness
03:53and also those who involve the children in the detention centre
03:58who have also been audited.
04:00So, overall,
04:02so far, the audit has gone smoothly.
04:04Alhamdulillah.
04:05And I take this opportunity to wish
04:07good luck to the children who have been audited at SPM.
04:11Dik ringi doa,
04:12dan mudah-mudahan kejayaan akan mengeringi anak-anak semua.
04:15InsyaAllah.
04:16Wadid, untuk sekali lawan tadi,
04:18ada SOP ke in case nak make sure tak berlaku kebocoran?
04:22Oh ya, kita ambil perhatian penuh
04:25tentang persiapan dan juga pelantikan mereka ini.
04:29Ada kaedah-kaedahnya yang ketat
04:32untuk memastikan bahwa mereka ini benar-benar qualified lah
04:36untuk menjadi pengawas perperiksaan.
04:39Jadi, setakat ini tidak ada masalah.
04:41Dan dari segi aspek,
04:44maknanya mencapai hasrat kita lah.
04:46Sekurang-kurangnya 20% di setiap negeri,
04:49petugas karyawan ini menjadi sebahagian daripada
04:52petugas di peringkat SPM.
04:55Thanks. Soalan lain?
04:58Tapi, soalnya lawan ini belum terjiri daripada
05:01kumpulan atau borong-borong laki-laki?
05:03Atau belum memiliki background?
05:05Background mereka, maknanya
05:08mereka ini mestilah
05:10dalam syarat-syarat yang ditetapkan itu termasuk
05:14terbuka kepada orang awam.
05:16Yang keduanya, mempunyai
05:19pengalaman-pengalaman yang
05:22telahpun kita tetapkan dalam aspek
05:24boleh, maknanya, mengikuti semua arahan kita lah.
05:28Dan juga syarat-syarat kita
05:30sebagai pengawas.
05:33Pesara guru pun ada.
05:35Dan ini memberikan, saya ingat, kesan langsung lah kepada
05:39keseluruhan operasi
05:42peperiksaan SPM. Jadi memang kita
05:45beri perhatian penuh kepada
05:47qualification kelayakan mereka ini.
05:50Soalan lain?
