Synergy Promenade is alleged to have owned the Felda headquarters’ land.
'Dubious deal'
It was previously reported by Malay daily Berita Harian that the transfer of ownership of the land took place when Felda Investment Corporation appointed the company as its main developer.
It was said Felda was at risk of losing ownership of the prime plots of land along Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur estimated to be worth RM200 million, when it was believed to have been transferred through an allegedly "dubious deal" in 2015.
Following the expose, it was reported that the value of the four land parcels in question may actually be worth four times more than what Felda had sold them for.
On Jan 5, former Felda chairperson, Isa Samad had his statement recorded by the Bukit Aman police's Commercial Crime Department for several hours.
The investigation is being conducted under Section 420 of the Penal Code, for cheating. - Mkini
