00:00 So whether or not this model will bring us to G60, of course right now I can't answer
00:07 that question.
00:08 The founding of the National Assembly has the strong support of 19 political parties and
00:11 148 members of Congress.
00:14 Of course, now that Muda has withdrawn support from the National Assembly, the number of
00:18 members of Congress has also decreased from 148 to 147.
00:21 But whether the coalition of the National Assembly or their cooperation can continue
00:25 until the next election is also a matter of concern for the people and politicians.
00:28 When the acting secretary-general, Lu Zhaofu, attended the National Assembly forum in Longxuehua,
00:32 he also talked about the relationship between the coalition.
00:34 How do we ensure this continues to be the case in Malaysia?
00:39 Firstly, I would say that one important factor right now is that Sabah-Sarawak plays a very
00:46 important factor in this respect.
00:49 Sabah-Sarawak, of course, is more tolerant in terms of multiracialism and multiculturalism
00:54 and they are very proud to say that they are the best example right now.
00:58 Sabah and Sarawak are the best example of multiculturalism.
01:01 So that is one of the factors which I would say plays a very important role in terms of
01:06 shaping Malaysian politics and shaping Malaysian way forward.
01:10 So I think that is something that we are looking forward to ensuring that we can continue to
01:16 have strong cooperation with Sabah and Sarawak, with the parties in Sabah and Sarawak.
01:21 Because this is a new challenge, a new model.
01:26 Whether or not this model can succeed in the long term, nobody knows.
01:30 But we are trying.
01:32 It is a new approach.
01:34 The next election, before that, before GD15, we are looking at the post-election coalition.
01:40 And it already happened.
01:42 A post-election coalition already happened.
01:45 But whether or not we will remain as a post-election coalition, nobody knows.
01:49 Because right now, from post-election coalition, we are back to pre-election coalition.
01:53 Because we form the government together, post-election.
01:57 But to face the state election, we become a pre-election coalition.
02:01 We have electoral understanding.
02:03 So whether or not this model will bring us to GD16, of course right now, I can't answer that question.
02:10 But if this unity government works well in the next four years, there is no reason for us not to have
02:17 any understanding going into election.
02:20 Because if we can perform and we can show to the world that this model is working well for the nation,
02:26 and then we cannot go and say that just because we are not going to have post-election coalition,
02:31 never mind, then we fight again in GD16.
02:33 So that is not the topic sense.
02:36 For me, as far as I am concerned, my primary objective and my primary motivation is to ensure that this government works.
02:43 This government can deliver.
02:45 This government can develop the country.
02:48 And this will be a new political model for us to rely on.
02:51 And we must have to take some compromises in terms of electoral understanding to move forward to the next GE
02:59 as one entity.
03:01 Even though it's not one entity, but some sort of understanding.
03:04 Because I don't think any coalition right now want to talk about merging the coalition.
03:09 For once, I think GPS is definitely not talking about merging with any coalition.
03:14 Not talking even about joining back PariSat National.
03:17 They want to remain as GPS.
03:19 Same goes to Sabah.
03:20 And I think as far as PHBN is concerned, we are also not talking about merger.
03:25 We are talking about our respective coalition, but a working coalition together.
03:31 So I think this is the model that we are looking to work in the next 10 years or so.
