UMNO vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein urged all quarters against speculating Felda would lose ownership of land in Jalan Semarak in Kuala Lumpur.

“Let the investigation proceed. 

“We do not want anyone to be punished through the media or social media,” said after a ceremony to hand over a school van and a student bus fare subsidy replica cheque in Ladang Landak, Kluang today.

Hishammuddin, who is also defence minister, special functions minister and Member of Parliament for Sembrong said he believed the Felda community understood the development agenda undertaken by the government to ensure their welfare continued to be looked after.

He said Johor Menteri Besar Khaled Nordin was also committed in helping the Felda settlers including six Felda areas under the Sembrong Parliamentary constituency.

On December 21, it was reported Felda risked losing their right to strategic pieces of land in Jalan Semarak worth over RM270 million after the plots were believed  to have changed hands since 2015.

The ownership transfer of the plots was believed to have taken place when Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd appointed a local company as the main developer on June 3, 2014 and given full power of attorney. – Bernama, January 6, 2018.
