A petition signed by 3,015 Felda settlers to voice their grouses in Parliament was rejected by speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia today as some 300 of them made their way to the Parliament building to wait for a result on their petition.
The petition, brought by four PKR MPs, was rejected due to technical reasons by Pandikar and was not allowed to be read out in the House, while the settlers sat in a field just outside the House to wait for a result.
The settlers are unhappy that Felda has not allowed them to sell their oil palms to all companies even though they no longer owe Felda and had been given land titles, which makes them smallholders.
