MACC reviewing complaint over Felda Palong 7 replanting programme
Anti-graft agency says it will examine the information to determine whether any element falls under offences within its jurisdiction.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is investigating a complaint regarding the quality of oil palm seedlings provided for a replanting programme at Felda Palong 7 in Negeri Sembilan. Chairman of Pertubuhan Badan Bertindak Generasi Palong (Perbagi), Syahrizal Md Yusuf, raised concerns with MACC about the supply, delivery, storage, age and specification of the seedlings.
MACC stated that accepting the information does not imply any party has committed a crime and should not be construed as a conclusion against any individual or entity. The commission has reviewed the allegations and will investigate whether the information contains elements related to offences within its jurisdiction. A request has also been made for relevant technical agencies to assess the technical aspects of the seedlings, including their quality and compliance with specifications.
The programme, which benefits approximately 450 settlers and is estimated to be worth RM70 million to RM80 million, has been under review by Perbagi members since they lodged the complaint with MACC headquarters in Putrajaya about five to six months ago.
