Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin has slammed Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for claiming he did not take any steps to waive Felda settlers' debts.
"Anwar has accused me of not waiving Felda settlers' debts. This is a big lie.
"The debt waiver was carried out when I was prime minister, and this was confirmed by the minister in the Prime Minister's Department in a parliamentary written reply on Feb 23, which said the waiver was done in 2021," he said in a statement.
"However, due to cash flow issues in Felda, the Pakatan Harapan-BN government could not continue carrying out the debt waiver initiative," he added.
Muhyiddin, the Bersatu president, cited a statement by then Felda chairperson Idris Jusoh on Feb 24 this year that the waiver of Felda settlers’ loans worth some RM8.3 billion completed in 2021 has had a significant impact on Felda's cash flow.
"I am not the type of person who likes to lie and not keep to promises. The one who lies and does not keep to promises is Anwar.
"With this lie, it is clear that Anwar does not deserve to remain as the prime minister," the Pagoh MP added. - Mkini
