00:00Assalamu'alaikum
00:02You said you want to review the promotion video
00:07No, it's not a review
00:09It's not a review
00:11It's not a review, it's a promotion video
00:15I've seen it, because there's a little mistake
00:19A little bit of understanding, a little bit of understanding, a little bit of patience
00:23A little bit of understanding again
00:25Jump here, jump there
00:27So I want to say
00:29If you understand, continue to promote
00:31Everyone will understand
00:33Don't jump here, jump there
00:35If we do it like that
00:37People will be confused
00:40Don't know which one is which
00:42So we promote it
00:44There must be a place to eat
00:48What's in the country
00:50And we have to promote another country
00:53From another place
00:55That's why I told you to review it
00:57That day, like I said
00:59That day, we just launched the logo
01:04Not a promotion
01:06That video can't be promoted, it's just for launching
01:09So don't go in
01:11Like people say, how do you do it?
01:14Don't all politicize
01:17Make it confusing
01:19And then we create tension in our society
01:23Don't do it like that
01:24From the media, from social media
01:26Or from the parties that play Tiktok
01:30Play anything
01:32Or play social media
01:35Don't do it
01:37We must hope
01:39Our country achieves harmony without conflict
01:43In our country
01:44Only then will people have confidence in us
01:46Okay?
01:48So you mean every country has a promotional video?
01:51No, we will divide it into zones
01:54One zone, maybe there are 2-3 countries
01:57Sorry, 2-3 countries
01:59We'll see how it goes
02:00So I told them to do it again
02:02In a week, it must be ready
02:04I told them
02:05After it's ready, we'll air it
02:09To everyone
02:10There is indeed a video
02:12Combining all countries
02:14It can be half an hour, 40 minutes
02:17Or 45 minutes
02:19Some people don't want to
02:20Some people say they want to go to Penang
02:22They just want to see Penang
02:24Or they want to go to Kuala Lumpur
02:25They just want to see Kuala Lumpur
02:27They don't want to watch 4 videos
02:29It's long, 4 videos
02:30Maybe the time is a bit long
02:32Some people say they want to go to Borneo
02:33They want to see Borneo's video
02:35We'll promote it
02:36Okay?
02:37So the montage is not official?
02:40No, we don't
02:41It's only 40 seconds
02:43How can we promote it?
02:45If you want to see Cinta
02:46It's only 40 seconds
02:49Okay?
02:51Do you understand?
02:52Do you understand?
02:55Thank you
