FELDA Global Venture Holdings Bhd (FGV) chairman Isa Samad is facing more calls to resign the post amid an ongoing anti-graft investigation.

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Felda task force and Pertubuhan Peneroka Rakyat Malaysia (PPRM) today handed a memorandum to Isa, asking him to quit.

“FGV has lost around RM13.4 billion since 2012 and Isa should resign for failing to manage FGV and Felda properly,” said Bersatu’s Felda task force chairman Wan Mohd Shahrir Wan Abdul Jalil.

“If he doesn’t quit, we will ask Prime Minister Najib Razak to terminate his services immediately,” Wan Shahrir told The Malaysian Insight today.

They handed over the memo at Menara Felda, Kuala Lumpur.

PPRM president Junaidy Jamaludin said Isa should take responsibility for the mess in FGV and Felda.

“Isa should resign as FGV chairman immediately before the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission investigation is completed,” he added.

Last week, another Felda group, Anak, also called for Isa’s resignation. 

MACC said yesterday that it will call 50 individuals, including Isa and suspended FGV CEO Zakaria Arshad, to assist in its corruption probe.

14 MACC officers had collected boxes of files from the FGV head office on June 8. –  June 13, 2017.
