  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim addressed the Semarak Kenangaran program at Kem Terendak in Melaka today. (Photo: Bernama) The premier directed the management of the Federal Land Development Corporation (Felda) to provide a comprehensive report regarding the potential sale of a hotel owned by the agency, which is reportedly valued significantly lower than its original purchase price. Anwar, who also serves as the finance minister, revealed his reluctance to sign the approval document for the sale, after discovering that the hotel in question was being offered for sale at £100 million, while it was originally purchased by the previous management for £160 million. He expressed his displeasure with the potentially damaging sale proposal, as the Felda residents are still facing various hardships and require government assistance to improve their basic facilities. \"Felda is under my guidance. Two months ago, the Felda management asked me to sign for the sale of this hotel. I said, wait a moment, what kind of business is this? Selling at a lower price than when we bought it. So, I didn't sign. I said, find out who did this work, make a report,\" he said during his speech at the program today. Present were the Minister of Religion (Hal Ehwal Agama) Zulkifli Hasan, Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari, National Security Council Chief Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, and Deputy Army Chief Azhan Md Othman. The prime minister stated that the request for Felda to submit a comprehensive report is to uphold Felda as an important institution in Malaysia. \"If we don't (let it go), then who knows what will happen to agencies, including the Malay agencies we are proud of. We must correct this,\" he said.",
