Former Felda chief pleads not guilty to cheating over land transfer
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Felda director-general Datuk Faizoull Ahmad pleaded not guilty today to a charge of cheating the agency's board of directors into approving a power of attorney that resulted in the transfer of ownership of 16 Felda land parcels in 2014.
Former Felda chief Datuk Faizoull Ahmad contested his guilt in a court on Monday, denying allegations of cheating the agency's board of directors. The 66-year-old director-general faced charges related to a power of attorney granted to Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd in 2014, leading to the transfer of 16 Felda land parcels. Faizoull, who was in charge at the time, claimed to understand the charge and pleaded not guilty from the dock.
The offence, alleged to have occurred on September 2, 2014, during a Felda Board Meeting at Menara Felda, was said to involve dishonestly concealing information from the board about the power of attorney's granting of authority to Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd.
