The association of Felda settlers’ children (Anak) will mobilise its members to protest what it believes is “an attempt to remove” a senior member from the federal land development agency’s administration.
The attempt, the NGO claims, is being underhandedly done in the guise of a letter asking general manager Zulkifli Wahab to take an extended leave of absence to “further his education”.
“The letter does not say terminate. But they sent a letter asking him to further his studies. What for? Zulkifli is 54 years’ old.
The matter was first picked up by PAS party organ Harakah which reported that Zulkifli was ordered to take a nine-month leave of absence after Prime Minister Najib Razak decided to give him a chance to further his studies.
The report speculated that the letter was issued after Najib received a letter from Felda chairperson Isa Samad (left). The leave is effective from Nov 25 to August, next year.
Mazlan claimed the matter arose over a disagreement between Zulkifli and Isa on the listing of Felda Global Ventures Holdings at Bursa Malaysia. Zulkifli is not totally supportive of Isa’s decision to do so.
Contacted by Malaysiakini today, Mazlan said that Anak will gather in 
He would also hand in a memorandum over the matter.
“Even if in several issues Anak had criticised the Felda leadership, but in terms of work we must be professional. Zulkifli himself started from the bottom and has been loyal in his duties,” he explained.
Malaysiakini’s attempts to contact Isa (left) for verification was unsuccessful.
