00:33the same as the former government of Bandaraya
00:35or now the company
00:38and we are a lawful country
00:41this lawful country follows the law
00:44and because we want to maintain the relationship between the people
00:48we do something that is not necessarily
00:52necessary
00:53that is to be treated well
00:55because for them
00:57the place of faith and religion
01:02must be moved well
01:06never thought and talked about robbing
01:10but that's what happened
01:12the narrative
01:13isn't that evil?
01:17even if it is wrong, the place is wrong
01:19we still move it well
01:21but to solve it
01:24we say move
01:26the company gives a little compensation
01:29I don't know what compensation is
01:32then
01:33they give a new place
01:36with the blessing of Bandaraya
01:41the power fell
01:437 for Gundi
01:45but there are other instigators
01:47I don't know where they are
01:48they talk too much
01:50what are we?
01:52I am an Islamic person
01:54want to destroy all religions?
01:57it's not the same
02:05I am a Muslim
02:06want to be a Muslim
02:11I have never been taught by my religion
02:14to be hostile and destroy their property
02:19but don't they think
02:21that we are weak
02:23there is a mosque in Lahadla
02:25ask the Sahabah
02:27which was destroyed
02:29because it didn't follow the rules
02:31there is a surau in Perak
02:33which was destroyed
02:35because it didn't
02:37stop it
02:39and it didn't decide
02:41there is a mosque in Sentul
02:43which was destroyed
02:45so for us
02:47this country is on top of religion
02:49yes, because of technical
02:51the mosque is 50 years
02:53the temple is 100 years
02:57we pay attention
02:59one year is not there
03:03in 2012
03:05in 2018
03:07but it doesn't matter
03:09don't destroy it
03:11move it well
03:13but it doesn't have to be
03:15every temple that doesn't get
03:17permission
03:19is given
03:21by the government
03:23because there are 130
03:25temples
03:27that don't have permission
03:29in Kuala Lumpur
03:31300 in Kedah
03:33a few in Perak
03:35it can't be like that
03:39I take this attitude
03:41because I take a very patient approach
03:45I ask
03:47I will pay
03:49it doesn't matter
03:51give a place to move
03:53so
03:55the extremist Islam group
03:57curse me
03:59because I am a Hindu
04:01the Hindu group
04:03want to Islamize everything
04:05not to mention the mosque
04:07in Madani
04:09even my friends said
04:11Anwar
04:13don't change the name of the mosque
04:15become a leader
04:17how is it possible?
04:19we don't do anything wrong
04:21our land is
04:23our own land
04:25there must be a foundation
04:27to lead
04:29must be firm in such things
04:31don't be cruel
04:33don't destroy
04:35but
04:37don't do anything
04:39the areas of practice
04:41must be close
04:43don't waste
04:45there must be a new place
04:47so
04:49that's why I want to continue
04:51to put the foundation
04:53of the mosque
04:55on the 27th of this month
05:01and I ask
05:03the government
05:05to do it
05:07carefully
05:09imagine
05:11if the government
05:13wants to
05:15go to that place
05:17that's enough
05:21so I insist

06:01in 2021
06:03I want to say
06:05one more thing
06:07what's wrong
06:09is that
06:11the leaders of this country
06:13especially now
06:15are taking
06:17a very good approach
06:19don't think that we are weak
06:21Muslim
06:23religious
06:25Muslim majority
06:27of this country
06:29but
06:31we don't use it
06:33to oppress anyone
06:37the Muslim majority
06:39of this country must
06:41follow the law
06:43the minority
06:45must obey the law
06:47we cannot
06:49have a tyranny of the majority
06:51neither should we condone

06:57we must defend
06:59the values of
07:01a democratic country
