Former Felda chief Datuk Faizoull Ahmad has pleaded not guilty to allegations of cheating the agency's board of directors over a land transfer. The charge stems from his alleged concealment of a power of attorney granted to Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd in 2014, which resulted in the ownership of 16 Felda land parcels being transferred to the company.
Faizoull, 66, entered his plea in Sessions Court, where Deputy public prosecutor N. Joy Jothi sought bail of RM100,000 with one surety. Faizoull's lawyer, Datuk Sukri Mohamed, requested a lower bail amount of RM30,000, arguing that the sum was excessive and beyond his client's means. The court granted bail at RM70,000 with one surety, and the case was set for mention on November 6.
