The Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) board of directors was not informed of the transfer of ownership of Felda Land in Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur.

National Felda Settlers Chief Samsuddin Othman said the board was only notified of the proposal to develop the land by the previous Felda management.

Samsuddin sits on the Felda board and represents the Settlers Consultation Committee (JKKP) which represents some 112,635 settlers from 317 Felda Settlements Nationwide, said the board of directors approved the project to develop a commercial centre, but we were not informed of who would be developing it, what more if a land ownership transfer was involved.

He stressed that the board did not know the details behind the Kuala Lumpur Vertical City project and that the previous Felda management failed to be transparent in making a business decision.

He added that JKKP only knew that Felda’s Land on Jalan Semarak belonged to someone else through the mass media. 

Samsuddin said felda as a whole was disappointed in the poor management which led to the debacle and fully supports the current management under the leadership of Tan Sri Shahrir Samad, that will ensure the land worth millions of ringgit is returned to Felda.

We, the board of directors was not informed of the land transfer. We were only notified about the project three months after the agreement has been signed. If we were notified earlier, things would be different. He (Tan Sri Isa Samad) is the Chairman for both Felda and FIC. )
