Felda has lost Jalan Semarak land forever, says Rafizi

FELDA land in Jalan Semarak, which had been approved for the development of Kuala Lumpur Vertical City (KLVC) was “gone forever”, PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli alleged today.

He said most people were unaware that the land had already been sold to the developer, Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd (SPSB).

Last week, SPSB offered to return to Felda the plots of land in Jalan Semarak, after it was revealed last month that ownership of the land, worth an estimated RM270 million, had been transferred to the privately-owned company in a dubious transaction in 2015.

Rafizi said that contrary to what Felda and SPSB want the people to believe, only a portion of the land would be returned to Felda.

“Felda’s land for KLVC is gone forever. The people do not know that when the KVLC construction started, the land was already sold to the developers,” Rafizi said on a Facebook live session today.

He claimed that as approval was given for the construction of KLVC, the individual lots that had been built were now owned by the developers and the buyers.

In a press conference last week, Felda chairman Shahrir Samad said SPSB had volunteered to return to Felda at no cost the ownership of 16 plots of land, totalling 66,000sq m.

Shahrir said the developer had also returned the relevant documents for the land to be registered again in Felda’s name.

While work on KLVC would continue, Sharir said Felda would be re-negotiating the terms and conditions of the project.

Lawyer Azhar Harun said last week that the legal process of transferring ownership of the land back to Felda could prove to be complicated and messy. – January 23, 2018.

  • Actually the supposed "transfer back to Felda" is meaningless without the details..There is NO WAY THE BOARD AND SHAHRIR SAMAD DID NOT KNOW THIS. The fact Shahrir Samad announced it without the details shows ITS ALL FOR SHOW. What about units already sold? What about loans to the bank? Its possible Felda is getting almost nothing back in reality..

  • If this is true, it's another case of Bodoh but too Sombong to admit that they overlooked and lost it. Sharrir cannot hide this too long and only fools will believe that sthiefs return back their loots! LOL

  • This is the true picture of this society - most of the scandals were kept under cover. Indirectly they admit the wrong practices. Very often the true culprits (mastermind) were being spared for whatever reason. Will this case be different? I doubt.
