00:00This location is one of the locations that is involved in the flood that was made together
00:14by the police and our regional authorities on the 14th of February in the whole country
00:23except for Perlis and Kuala Lumpur, a total of 46 locations that we made a flood in one day
00:31on the day of the incident. This is one of them.
00:33What differentiates this location from the other flood premises is the large number of finds
00:43of live bullets and bullet holes that have been used.
00:50Based on the finds of live bullets, the total number of bullet holes that have been made
00:58is around 40 tons, followed by the bullets that have been used.
01:08I came here today to see for myself how the final process of the bullets that have been
01:15used ends up as a bullet hole. That is the final value, the bullet hole and so on.
01:22That is also from the bullets, several components of the bullets.
01:27So we can conclude there that the actual number of bullets and bullet holes
01:35is more than what we found on the day of the incident.
01:39So, several actions based on the law have been carried out.
01:46The police authorities here have brought firearms because of the finding of bullets.
01:52The local government itself has opened at least four charges based on certain sections
01:59of the local government.
02:01Likewise, our local authorities, regional offices and so on, have already established
02:06a haram premise that has been in operation for almost two years.
02:10So, it opens to the investigation actions carried out by all the police agencies.
02:19On this new Sunday, I gave a full statement to the Chief Minister
02:25regarding the progress of the flood investigation that was carried out.
02:32The Chief Minister has also given some guidance as to how things like this need to be handled
02:42by all regional agencies, including the police force as well.
02:47And we are not done yet.
02:51Affirmatively, our investigation confirms that there are still premises that are in operation
02:58like this one in our radar.
03:01Dr. Swee, the Chief Minister has also said that this haram e-waste is something like that.
03:10I do not deny that possibility.
03:12That is indeed in the attention of the police.
03:17In an investigation, if there is an element of crime, an element of safety,
03:22that is the forte of the police force.
03:24Therefore, even though we started the investigation based on firearms,
03:28but we do not deny the possibility that as we go deeper into the investigation,
03:32we might find something interesting here.
03:35So, therefore, I do not deny that possibility.
03:39Because an operation as large as this, a network of the entire country,
03:44when a flood of this magnitude, 46 premises on that day,
03:48and there are still premises that we have confirmed.
03:52Of course, it does not involve individual operations separately.
03:58So, I leave that to the expertise of the police.
04:01I do not want to speculate.
04:03But I can affirm that we do not deny elements like that.
04:08As mentioned by my colleague, Suleyman Ibn Azmi.
04:11Where did you get this bullet from?
04:12Overseas?
04:13Okay, as far as our arsenal is concerned, it is indeed from abroad.
04:17Has the source country been identified already?
04:20In the arsenal of the police force,
04:22okay, because it involves the arsenal of documents that we stole from the next office.
04:27We have already arrested your people, okay.
04:29Your people, the names of these businesses are only two people.
04:33One is a local resident, the other is a foreigner.
04:37So, we have arrested the locals who are missing.
04:40But in the arsenal of our search.
04:43So, when we made a collection of all those documents,
04:48I have been informed early by Dato Usin two days ago at Bukit Aman.
04:52And various scopes.
04:55I can say that the investigation is proceeding with very convincing progress.
05:01But I do not want to make any further revelations,
05:05even though it is interesting to me.
05:07Because I do not want to interfere with the investigation of the police.
