Former Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) DG Datuk Faizoull Ahmad was charged on September 30 at the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur with misleading the authority's board of directors over a land transfer at Jalan Semarak in 2014. Faizoull, who was in charge of Felda at the time, denies the allegations. The charge claims that Faizoull concealed a power of attorney dated June 3, 2014, which allowed Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd to transfer ownership of 16 Felda parcels to Synergy Promenade KLVC Sdn Bhd and Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd.
The deception led the board to approve the power of attorney, resulting in the land transfer despite the board's unawareness of the arrangement. The offence, under Section 420 of the Penal Code, carries a potential prison sentence of one to ten years and caning, along with a fine if found guilty.
