00:00The domestic violence case
00:03One of the factors that contributes to the domestic violence case...
00:07...is the combination of several factors.
00:11One of them is misunderstanding.
00:14If the report is misunderstood, the report is made.
00:18Misunderstanding is the highest. It's 30%.
00:21Then there's the heat. It's 20%.
00:24When it's a small matter, they get angry.
00:26Then there's financial problems. It's 11%.
00:30And then there's the drug problem.
00:35But overall, these four main factors...
00:38...are a combination of economic factors.
00:43So I can say that these four factors are interlinked.
00:47In my opinion, based on our research...
00:51...the domestic violence cases are mostly related to financial issues.
01:00So if we look at certain groups...
01:03...like the majority of Malay people...
01:07...I think it's because they have no other place to go.
01:13When the issue comes to them, they are the ones who report it.
01:17But I believe that many of these cases are not reported.
01:20Most of the cases are not reported.
01:24For example, the cases of unemployed parents and wives.
01:27Or the cases of unemployed people who still have feelings for them.
01:31The principle of PDRM is simple.
01:35If a crime is reported, you have to investigate it.
01:38You have to open a case based on the crime.
01:41That's the principle.
01:50If a crime is reported, you have to investigate it.
01:53That's the principle.
01:55If a crime is reported, you have to investigate it.
01:58If a crime is not reported, you have to investigate it.
02:01If a crime is not reported, you have to investigate it.
02:05If a crime is not reported, you have to investigate it.
02:08If a crime is not reported, you have to investigate it.
02:11If a crime is not reported, you have to investigate it.
02:14If a crime is not reported, you have to investigate it.
