Umno MP: Why did unrelated person get 1mil FGV shares?

An Umno parliamentarian today queried the government why a person unrelated to Felda was allegedly given the pink form for one million shares in the recently-listed Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV).

“There is a guy in Sabah who has no connection with Felda, but he got a million FGV shares.

“This person has not contributed anything at all to Felda, not even politically,” Abdul Ghafur Salleh (BN-Kalabakan) (left) told the Dewan Rakyat during Question Time today.

He revealed this in his supplementary question to Deputy Minister In the Prime Minister’s Department Ahmad Maslan, who fielded his original question on the criteria and groups eligible for FGV pink forms and blue forms.

The Kalabakan MP asked Ahmad to give him an answer in writing on the matter, including the list of all who has been given FGV pink forms.

The deputy minister agreed, although he said that as far as he knew nothing like what Abdul Ghafur said has happened, but posited that it may be a misunderstanding.

“The Sabah state government is given five percent of the FGV shares. That is a substantial amount.

“I presume that this is where the confusion may lie, as it may be the Sabah government that got those shares,” reasoned Ahmad.
