Ministerial powers used to allow Isa on KPF board


Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said he exercised his ministerial powers to exempt Isa Samad from Korperasi Permodalan Felda (KPF)'s by-laws, that would otherwise disqualify him.

He said this when asked to comment on the Malaysia Cooperative Societies Commission’s (MCSC) ruling that Isa’s application to be a Felda member is invalid, but the commission says it is powerless to act on it because there is no provision to do so under KPF’s by-laws.

Ismail Sabri responded there are two conditions to meet to be a board member of Felda under the by-laws, but exemptions can be made under the Cooperatives Act.

“I have exempted Isa from obeying the by-laws, which means that he can be appointed as a board member.

“I do not have the power to appoint anyone to the chair of any cooperative, but I can exempt them from the requirements of by-laws,” he told reporters at a press conference today.
