00:00I would like to thank you for being here today, and I would like to congratulate you on your graduation.
00:08In 2023, there will be 8,600 toilets and toilets for Malaysian schools.
00:18Imagine, our children, our schools, with such facilities, I mean it's totally unacceptable as far as I'm concerned.
00:30So the least we can do is to try and resolve this problem.
00:35The government has undertaken this measures, it costs over a billion, talking about 11 billion,
00:42because it is such a problem of limited conditions.
00:46I was telling your sister, my son, Trina, just now that even schools around Kuala Lumpur,
00:545 minutes, 10 minutes from your residence.
00:58And I think it is time that we, blessed by Allah SWT with some wealth or facilities,
01:09should we undertake some measures to indeed reduce the pressures.
01:15The government has its limitations.
01:17My priority is of course schools and education, hospitals, we are talking about billions.
01:24We are talking about flood mitigation, game, billions.
01:28And we have to resolve the fact that we rely on our people.
01:33So the issue of schools, if I may suggest, this year, we should choose schools.
01:43Not only good schools, but schools that are closer to the villages, the suburbs of Sarawak.
01:59So, I hope that there will still be KSP and ICU, and education.
02:09And if we get 200 schools that are directly monitored, it will help.
02:17Imagine a person who manages the main bank, goes to a school,
02:24and he hears about it, he will be encouraged to choose.
02:29And what he has conveyed to the children will have an impact and impact.
02:34Imagine when we are at school, a big manager comes and records the achievements of the children.
02:41He speaks, we listen, we respect, and it increases our spirit to take care and learn.
02:50Recently, I received an agreement from the Bank.
02:56When I was in the government, we started a foundation called Hadiah Bahasa.
03:03Universities, colleges, middle and high schools, national universities,
03:08Chinese schools, Thai schools, Hadiah Bahasa.
03:11We started a foundation called Hadiah Bahasa.
