Former Felda DG charged with cheating board over Jalan Semarak land transfer

A former Felda director-general, Datuk Faizoull Ahmad, appeared in court on September 30, 2021, accused of deceiving the authority's board of directors regarding a land transfer in Jalan Semarak in 2014. Faizoull, 66 at the time, pleaded not guilty to the charge in Sessions Court, Kuala Lumpur. The alleged deception involved concealing a power of attorney, which Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd had been granted by Faizoull to transfer ownership of 16 parcels of land in the Felda Lot Development Project at Jalan Semarak.

By concealing this power of attorney, Faizoull allegedly misled the board into agreeing to the transfer, resulting in the land being transferred to Synergy Promenade KLVC Sdn Bhd and Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd. The offense is alleged to have occurred at the Board Meeting Room, Level 50, Menara Felda, Platinum Park, Persiaran KLCC on September 2, 2014.

Faizoull faces up to 10 years in prison and caning upon conviction, as charged under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
