Felda to remain under PM’s Dept until all issues resolved

SIK, Aug 4 — Felda will remain under the purview of the Prime Minister’s Department until the main issues faced by the agency and its settlers are resolved.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he will personally monitor Felda’s progress until then, after which the agency will be handed over to another ministry.

“For now, Felda is under the Prime Minister’s Department because there are a lot of problems, and I do not want to resolve them in bits and pieces.

“I have given full responsibility to the new Felda chairman (Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek) as I know he has the capability, and he is serious about resolving the issues.

“… and I have told him (Ahmad Shabery) to strongly push ahead, and if there are problems to let me know, Insya-Allah I will bring about changes to the best of my ability,” he said when officiating the ‘Karnival Segalanya Felda’ in Felda Teloi Timur here today.
