00:00And we need to know that issue of jerebu is not a small issue.
00:02This is one of the most terrible things because the phenomenon of El Nino is among the worst.
00:07But the impact is not about, oh, maybe a little bit of pressure.
00:12The impact is very big.
00:13It is not because of the people who don't choose Malaysia,
00:16but for our children when we can't go to school,
00:19school is closed.
00:20This is not a small issue.
00:21The PISA ranking is released.
00:25We are a place even behind other developing countries in the region.
00:28And one of the biggest reasons is because of learning loss.
00:32The fact that learning loss comes when school is closed
00:36with a long time,
00:37during COVID-19,
00:39not because of COVID-19,
00:40because of the jerebu that is made by
00:42slash and burn tactics from the country,
00:45our children don't have the education that they have to take.
00:49And that's what they need to do.
00:50I'm sorry.
00:51I'm sorry.
00:53I'm sorry.
00:54I'm sorry.
00:55Able 20 Minds Sc descriptions.
00:56After all,
00:56I'm sorry.
00:57To start signing off the jerebu,
00:58after all,
01:00For the next step,
01:01after all,
01:14people who have to put personal mouse on work on their digital cable
01:16Tidak ada tablet untuk akses pendidikan atas talian
01:19Yang ada pun akhirnya mungkin internet teruk
01:22Jika nak dibandingkan dengan negara-negara
01:24Anak-anak yang mungkin keluarga sedikit lebih kaya, lebih mampu
01:28Mereka kalau tak pergi sekolah pun boleh akses tuition
01:31Boleh akses pendidikan digital
01:33Maksudnya jurang pendidikan itu makin lama makin teruk
01:37Kerana jerebu yang akhirnya dibuat kerana
01:41Ada korporat-korporat besar yang gilakan keuntungan
01:44Sanggup buat slash and burn taktik untuk keuntungan mereka
01:48Tetapi menjejaskan kesihatan, ekonomi, pendidikan, jutaan manusia lain
01:54Apa yang boleh Malaysia lakukan?
01:56Kita perlu ada solusi
01:57Pertama sekali, kita perlu pastikan
02:00Dan tak cukup kita hanya buat panggilan kepada Presiden
02:02Tak boleh, we need to do more
02:04Kita pertama perlu hantar nota diplomatik yang tegas
02:07Bahawa Malaysia membantah dan bukan setakat Malaysia membantah
02:10Perkara ini perlu dipersetujui bersama oleh ASEAN
02:13Khususnya oleh negara jiran yang turut terkesan
02:15Seperti Singapura
02:16We must send a very clear diplomatic protest
02:19Kedua, Malaysia dan Singapura ada persamaan dan pengaruh
02:24Iaitu kita juga yang memberikan modal besar kepada syarikat-syarikat di Indonesia
02:31Singapura ada DBS Bank, di Malaysia ada Maybank dan CMB yang turut beroperasi di Indonesia
02:35We need to be very stern
02:37Syarikat-syarikat walaupun sedikit pun terkait dengan slash and burn taktik ini
02:41They must be kept out from the system
02:44Dan tidak boleh dapat lagi akses modal pasaran
02:46Bukan setakat di Malaysia dan Singapura
02:48But even to access loans from our institutions
02:52We need to hit them where they hurt the most
02:55Kalau tidak perkara ini akan berterusan
02:57Dan ini bukan tentang soal Indonesia lawa Malaysia saja
03:01Tidak, syarikat-syarikat Malaysia
03:03Syarikat-syarikat Singapura yang terkait dinamakan oleh Greenpeace
03:07Malaysia perlu ambil tindakan ke atas mereka
03:09Singapura telah memperkenalkan undang-undang trans-boundary haste
03:13Yang di mana syarikat mereka yang turut lakukan slash and burn taktik
03:17Boleh diambil tindakan
03:18Malaysia must do the same
03:19Kalau ada syarikat Malaysia yang bersekongkol
03:23Take action, show no mercy
03:25Tunjukkan how it is done
03:26Sekarang saya beri sedikit laluan
03:29Terima kasih kerana menonton!
