FELDA’s former chairman and politician Mohd Isa Samad has survived one political trial after another to remain in favour with the powers that be.

But after a year of settlers complaining about heavy debts and investigations into dubious deals on his watch, Isa’s political future is no longer clear.

  • A crony dog would not have dare to steal big money from FELDA without the approval from his Master. A crony dog will willingly wear Orange Lokup DRess and sacrifice itself as a Kambing Hitam to save his ill-gotten wealth. Its Master will play his hand and all sin will disappear into thin air (like Altantuya murder). Isa will return as a Hero (like Hang Tuah) of Ketuanan Melayu and appointed as Chairman to another GLC or Tabung Haji

  • I really find it hard to believe how this Cikgu can still survive after all these accusations! Is he a true muslim and eats rice with a pinch of salt too, right? Has he got to do with some favours he did for the PM while as an MB some years back.....the irony is, all were Muslims, as theycall themselves, swear on the Holy book but never regreted their past deeds etc including their victims, if any! These are the Muslims for the people in Bolehland. ... Great Ketuanan Melayu at its best.....LOL

  • THIS was so blatant, you wonder what he did while MB of Negeri Sembilan.

    Also, after all the drama of orange suite, NOW they treat him like kid's glove. Its clear there is a lot more going on than it seems. Both the level of hypocrisy and scheming as well as idiotic screw up smells of Najib/Rosmah.
