Felda chairperson Isa Samad’s controversial membership in Koperasi Permodalan Felda (KPF) was struck out and declared null and void by the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.
Justice Zaleha Yusof had overturned the decision by the Malaysian Cooperatives Societies Commission (MCSC) last May that ruled that KPF had violated its by-laws in admitting Isa as a member, but ruled that he can remain as a KPF member.
“The judge has agreed with us that the decision made by the commission was improper and granted a mandamus (order) for Isa’s membership to be struck out. In other words, he has allowed our application for a judicial review,” said lawyer Mohd Hanipa Maidin, who is representing the Felda settlers who filed the application.
Abdul Talib Ali and 15 other KPF members had applied for the judicial review application following the commission’s May decision.
