00:00I was there, Sabriji, he brought it in a letter, after the Jemaah Bukhari lecture, he asked him about other issues, and I told him, if it's true, we have to fix it.
00:21He said, how to fix it? We have to fix it further, we have to use the tools. So, I agreed.
00:34He said, okay, but you know, there are a lot of cars that have been swept away, they don't pay for road tax, so how can we get subsidies?
00:47I said, okay, I'm your representative, we'll find a solution. If you don't get it, the stronger you are, the more I hate you.
01:07But if we discuss it well, we can, because we don't know everything.
01:17He said, I don't know. I said, no, he brought it, it's good. So, I asked, what is the cost of fixing it? He said, we have to give it to Felda, so that he can always bring it.
01:29He said, in 100 million. On Friday, when I told him, I said, first, 100 million ringgit subsidy.
01:39Then, Mr. Zahid, I want to eat cokoro, can I? He said, how about the cars that don't have road tax?
02:00He didn't register. So, we discussed, okay, we'll find a way, register with Felda, and we'll find a way to help. That's our way.
02:17I want to ask, if I'm the leader of the country, can I give 10 million ringgit to foreigners? Can I give 1 million ringgit to the rich?
02:27He said, you can't. I said, if I can't, how can I do it? He said, it's easy or hard? He said, it's hard.
02:34Some people got angry, of course. Can we avoid it? He said, no, we can't.
02:41And I passed every village, 100,000 ringgit.
02:48And now, some villages are already running. Some have already run it.
02:58Some are afraid to run it, but if I'm Felda, we have to arrange how to get it.
03:05This is not a one-hour plan.
03:11Every plan is big, but every village has a block in it.
03:19What's the name of this village? 317.
03:25So, we had a meeting, but I don't want any block. I want everyone to be a representative.
03:34I want to be the head of the mosque. If there's a surau, it's a surau.
03:37One of them is a woman. One of them is a man.
03:42One of them is a community.
03:44Whatever we gather, discuss, and do, we can donate 100,000 ringgit for the project.
03:52So, from 312 to 317, everyone has a share for this development project.
