KERDAU The pro-settlers group alleges that the federal government has been supporting an illegal scheme all this while.
A pro-Felda settlers group today dropped a bombshell by claiming that Felda Plantations is an illegal organisation.
Persatuan Anak Peneroka Felda Kebangsaan (Anak) president Mazlan Aliman said Felda Plantations, which manages oil palm plantations opened under the federal scheme, has unlawfully taken over 367,710 hectares of land nationwide that were meant to go straight to settlers.
In Anak's first foray into the Kerdau by-election today, Mazlan said Felda Plantations has no rights over the land as the Group Settlement Act 1960 only allows ownership to be transferred to individuals or co-operatives.
Mazlan explained that the over 360,000 hectares of land was given away by the various state governments and was supposed to go straight to the settlers under the Felda scheme.
“But the federal government was not honest, and took all that land and put it under Felda Plantations,” he said at PAS' daily press conference at their operations centre in Kerdau.
“This makes Felda Plantations an illegal organisation.”
