00:00Wabi, I just want to say that Wabi had said about the Pan-Inferior Board
00:04that we will make a path to Thailand.
00:07Can you say what will happen to Thailand?
00:11What will happen to Thailand?
00:13What will happen to Thailand?
00:18My goal is to make a path to Thailand,
00:22to meet the Minister of Penghantan Thai.
00:25First, we have to have a relationship with our work.
00:29We have two things from the perspective of Thailand.
00:32That is general.
00:34At this time, the Minister of Penghantan Thai also met with the Minister of Penghantan Thai
00:38to be able to work together in Thailand.
00:42Because there are a lot of projects-project projects in Thailand.
00:46There are projects in Thailand,
00:49there are projects in Thailand,
00:52there are projects in Thailand,
00:54there are projects in Thailand,
00:57we have a new project,
01:00that I have launched a few weeks ago,
01:03the Police Inland Port,
01:04where there is a new CIQ,
01:07and there is a new bonded area,
01:10connected to Thailand,
01:13with the Police Inland Port.
01:15So, in general, we want to talk about two things from the perspective,
01:21because there are a lot of things from the perspective.
01:23But, in the specific way,
01:25there is a special purpose for me to talk about the relationship between Malaysia and Thailand,
01:31with the real sector,
01:33because in the real sector,
01:35because in the real sector,
01:37we are already ready to work together,
01:39between KTMB and SRT,
01:41State Railroad of Thailand,
01:43State Railroad of Thailand,
01:45SRT.
01:46The two operators are definitely working together,
01:48but the most important thing is that
01:50we are working together with G2G,
01:52from government to government.
01:55From the perspective,
01:56we want to see the strategic development
01:58among the strategic landings of the keretapis.
02:02Because we don't want to see the landings of the keretapis
02:04from the lens of domestic,
02:07domestic or domestic perspective. What is more important today is how to use the asset
02:15of our car for the strategic strategy. That is why we want to connect the countries through rail.
02:24When we can connect the rail between these countries, the first is to add connectivity, connectivity
02:32and the second is that it is the safety of the supply chain. Because in the world, in this world,
02:40there are many differences, many disruption. And Malaysia is a very strategic location.
02:49Because we are in the middle of the location of the Selat Melaka and also of the Laut Cina Selatan.
02:55We are connected between the South and the South. But many countries in Asia are
03:01landlocked. They are not able to get out through the Laut. They are not able to get out.
03:07But Malaysia is there. With the presence of the Laut, with the strategic strategy, we need to connect
03:15the Asia through the sector rail. That is what I would say. We must see that Malaysia is from the
03:21strategic strategic strategy. And this is our advantage. So we must use the advantage of this
03:29to build the economy. So we are able to build the economy. So we are able to get out. We have a
03:35real world. We have a real world. We have a real world. We are able to build the rail.
03:40We have a real world. Now we must fully utilize the rail. For a strategic reason. And this is because I
03:49want to talk to the Thai. And we hope that in ASEAN, this will be a consensus.
03:54So we can increase the connectivity. When we can increase the connectivity, we will
04:01be sure that other countries will also be interested in. And countries that are
04:05landlocked. China is also very interested in. Because President China himself
04:10has announced the opportunity of China to realize the Pan-Asian Railroad Network.
04:15Ticket integration? Yes. What do you mean by ticket integration?
04:24That one can be discussed at the at the operational level. Those things are operational. But you see,
04:34what happened is that in the past, we did not really have a G2G understanding in terms of
04:41breaking down barriers. So this is all at the policy level. So for example, Thailand does not allow
04:48certain products from Malaysia to be transported via rail to cross their border. So even though it's
04:54transit. So these are the things is policy level. You must get the policy sorted out before it can be
05:02operationalized.
05:11For already,pload between the three, two, three, four, two
