Felda has pledged to conduct a thorough investigation into the replanting program at Felda Palong 7, Selangor, following concerns raised by planters and a report submitted to Malaysia's Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM). The investigation will encompass aspects such as plantation management, procurement processes, fieldwork execution, seed quality, and the administration of the program managed by Felda Plantation Management Sdn Bhd (FPMSB).
According to Felda, every aspect will be examined objectively based on facts, records, and authorized procedures. The company stresses that it will not compromise on anything that could undermine the interests of planters or the organization's integrity.
Earlier, SPRM announced it was examining information related to the replanting saw mill program at Felda Palong 7, including issues concerning seed quality and adherence to specifications. The information was received from Mohd Syahrizal Md Yusuf, Chairman of the Palong Generation Body (Perbagi), along with a group of young planters who visited SPRM's headquarters to submit the details about the program.
SPRM highlighted that the issues raised include planting material procurement, transportation, storage, age, and adherence to seed specifications, as well as seeking technical quality and specification compliance from relevant agencies. The program is reported to benefit around 450 planters and is estimated to cost between RM70 million and RM80 million.
Additional concerns raised by young planters include the cost of planting material procurement, transport fees, and the execution of the replanting process. SPRM stated that any further actions would be determined based on the findings of the investigation and the information obtained, while emphasizing that receiving the information does not imply any wrongdoing or constitute conclusions regarding any individual or party involved.
Felda expressed its commitment to FPMSB to provide full cooperation with SPRM in order to assist the inquiry or audit related to the matter.
