00:00I am pleased to inform you that one of the main bases that needs attention is the relationship between Malaysia and the United States.
00:11As one of our main trading partners, the United States is not only an important export destination,
00:21but also a strategic partner in trade and investment.
00:28This relationship has developed continuously over a long period of time,
00:35providing great benefits to the Malaysian economy,
00:39including job opportunities and business opportunities for local companies.
00:46In addition to the economic aspect, we also cooperate closely on the issue of security,
00:54including combating violence, increasing maritime awareness, and maintaining territorial stability.
01:07This relationship has also been strengthened through military training, bilateral and multilateral training.
01:20Therefore, it is important for Malaysia to continue this relationship wisely for the good of the country.
01:31Two weeks after Trump won the second round as President of the United States on November 5, 2024,
01:43the President of Indonesia, the Prime Minister of Singapore, Thailand, and many world leaders
01:52have reached out to congratulate and strengthen cooperation between their countries.
02:02Namun, sehinga kini, sudah lepas tiga bulan, Perdana Menteri Malaysia belum dapat menghubungi ini bersama Trump.
02:15Sebagai pengurusi ASEAN, adalah penting untuk memastikan hubungan erat
02:22dengan salah satu rakan dagang utama kita terus diperkukuh.
02:28Selain itu, bagi mengisi kekosongan jawatan duta besar Malaysia ke Amerika Syarikat
02:35dan memastikan kestabilan hubungan diplomatik,
02:39saya mencadangkan pelantikan seorang career diplomat dengan izin berpengalaman sebagai duta besar
02:47serta penubuhan jawatan utusan khas ataupun special envoy dengan izin bagi lantikan politik.
02:56Ini mungkin boleh mencepatkan usaha diplomasi dan memperluaskan saluran komunikasi
03:04dengan kerajaan Amerika Syarikat.
03:07Tan Sri Yandi Pertua, saya bersetuju dengan langkah yang diambil oleh Trump
03:13dalam usaha mengurangkan kerenah birokrasi melalui inisiatif dengan penubuhan sebuah unit khas
03:23seperti Department of Government Efficiency ataupun DOGE dengan izin
03:29yang bertanggungjawab dan memastikan pelaksanaan dasar lebih pantas dan berkesan.
03:36Tambahan pula, tinjauan terkini di Amerika Syarikat menunjukkan bahwa langkah ini mendapat sokongan yang tinggi
03:45karena ia membantu mengurangkan pembaziran dan meningkatkan produktiviti sektor awam.
03:52Jika Malaysia mengambil pendakatan serupa, bukan saja ia dapat mencipatkan pembelajaran negara
04:00dengan mengurangkan birokrasi yang tidak perlu, tetapi juga menjadikan negara lebih mesra,
04:07perniagaan seterusnya menarik lebih banyak pelaburan asing dan domestik.
04:13Justru saya mencadangkan penubuhan sebuah unit khas ditubuhkan bawah pejabat Perdana Menteri
04:21dan wajar diterajui oleh seorang tokoh perniagaan yang memahami keperluan industri
04:34dan mampu menerapkan prinsip kecekapan dalam sistem pendidikan negara.
