  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that a proposal for an audit of Felda will be presented to the Cabinet for review. This decision follows Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's call for a forensic investigation into Felda, which aims to clarify the cause of the financial losses experienced by the company and identify those accountable. Zahid suggested the possibility of forming a royal commission of inquiry to probe Felda, provided it does not seek to harass or belittle any individual, but instead seeks to bring those responsible to justice if there is sufficient evidence. Anwar had previously stated that Felda is suffering losses of approximately RM10 billion due to poor management and excessive political influence. The government plans to release a report from a special task force on Felda soon, detailing the issues inherited by the company.",
