The prime minister says the recipients are free to decide on how to spend the cash.
He said the approach of allowing villagers to choose their preferred projects is in line with the government’s aspiration, which emphasises consultation and community empowerment.
“I have prepared the allocation, with each Felda village receiving RM100,000 to decide which project they want to implement.
“This is not Felda management deciding what project to undertake. Want to buy a tractor? Build a fish pond? Purchase a drone? You decide what you want; I’m providing RM100,000 for each village,” he said when launching the 2025 Mega 3D Carnival at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre here today.
Also present were deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, communications minister Fahmi Fadzil and Felda chairman Ahmad Shabery Cheek.
Felda free to determine FGV’s direction after delisting
Anwar said Felda can begin to independently determine FGV Holdings Bhd’s direction once the company completes its delisting process from Bursa Malaysia, which will commence on Aug 28.
He said this will enable Felda, together with its cooperative and settlers, to fully focus on its original mission of safeguarding the rights, returns, and interests of the settlers.
“We can proceed with the delisting starting Aug 28. This means Felda is no longer bound. Felda can decide its own direction and provide assurances to the Federal Land Development Authority Malaysia Cooperative so that the benefits and interests of the settlers remain the top priority.
“As soon as this matter is settled, I, together with Felda chairman Ahmad Shabery Cheek and colleagues, will ensure clear guidance from the government to make sure FGV returns to Felda’s original mission,” he said. - FMT
