Jumpa di mahkamah

SUNGKAI - “Berjumpa kita di mahkamah nanti,” kata Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak berhubung kenyataan fitnah akhbar :Suara Keadilan: berkaitan Felda Bankrap baru-baru ini.

Najib berkata, tempoh seminggu yang diberikan kepada akhbar berkenaan sudah tiba masanya.

Menurutnya, surat saman akan diberikan untuk meminta pihak berkenaan memohon maaf berserta tuntutan sebanyak RM200 juta.

“Kita telah beri tempoh masa seminggu kepada akhbar berkenaan buktikan kenyataan yang dibuat dan sudah tiba masanya kita berikan tuntutan saman RM200 juta dan kenyataan memohon maaf.

“Tuduhan yang dilemparkan adalah tuduhan liar, tidak berasas dan dusta sama sekali,” katanya semasa merasmikan Hari Peneroka 2010 peringkat Kebangsaan dan Perasmian Maktab Rendah Sains Mara Felda (MRSMF) Trolak, semalam.

Hadir sama ke majlis berkenaan ialah Menteri Kemajuan Luar Bandar dan Wilayah, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal dan Menteri Besar Perak, Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.

Najib berkata, istilah bankrap perlu difahami kerana hanya dengan tuduhan pihak-pihak tertentu, bukanlah menandakan sesebuah organisasi berkenaan sudah bankrap.

“Kalau dah bankrap idealisme, orang sanggup tinggalkan parti dan buktinya jelas dengan keadaan kini termasuk di Perak di mana wakil rakyatnya meninggalkan mereka.

“Jikalau sudah bankrap juga, tidak wajib untuk membayar zakat, namun Felda membayar sejumlah RM26 juta untuk zakat pada tahun lalu,” katanya.

Katanya, harta yang dimiliki oleh Felda cukup jelas dan kini pihak Felda sedang dalam usaha menembusi pasaran Amerika Utara.

“Kita berusaha untuk menembusi pasaran antarabangsa kerana pasaran ini akan meningkatkan pasaran minyak sawit dan harga sawit akan menjadi lebih tinggi.

“Peneroka juga akan mendapat hasil yang lebih baik dengan usaha yang dilakukan ini dan kita bukannya ‘joli katak, bukan ‘songlap duit’ tetapi kita gunakan untuk pelaburan,” katanya.

Najib berkata, peneroka Felda akan diberikan duit raya seperti yang dilakukan sebelum ini.

“Namun, jumlah duit raya yang akan diberikan tidak diketahui lagi dan akan diumumkan kemungkinan selepas minggu pertama Ramadan,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Felda Kledang, Johor diumumkan pemenang Anugerah Keceriaan Kawasan Felda (AKFF) 2010 dengan membawa pulang hadiah bernilai lebih RM1 juta.

Felda critics bankrupt of morals, says Najib
2010/07/07

SLIM RIVER: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak yesterday dismissed Suara Keadilan's report which claimed that the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) was bankrupt.
He described those who had made such baseless allegations as bankrupt of ideas and morals.

"They are the ones who are bankrupt. I want to ask them, if you are not bankrupt in your idealism, would anyone want to leave your party (Parti Keadilan Rakyat)?

"We can see that their own elected representatives have left them. So many have abandoned them. If they possess idealism in their struggle, their members would not abandon them.

"All this shows that the ones who are bankrupt are those people. That is why I say to them, we will see you in court," Najib said in reference to the RM200 million suit filed by Felda against Suara Keadilan, the mouthpiece of PKR.

Speaking at the national-level Settlers' Day celebration in Felda Trolak, 20km from here, he said it had been a week since Felda sent out a notice demanding that Suara Keadilan apologise for the report and pay Felda RM200 million.

When Najib asked the more than 10,000 settlers gathered at the event if Felda should pursue the matter in court, the crowd gave a resounding yes with cries of "Teruskan" (proceed).

"What does it mean to be a bankrupt? If a person becomes a bankrupt, he could only wear a singlet, shorts and Japanese slippers because everything has been auctioned off by the bank," Najib said.

"According to accounting principles, an organisation is on the verge of bankruptcy when its liabilities are greater than its assets and is unable to pay its debts. That's when creditors apply to the courts to declare the organisation is bankrupt.

"Therefore, an organisation like Felda cannot be declared bankrupt just because someone says we are bankrupt. Who becomes a bankrupt is not decided or determined by Suara Keadilan."

On Felda's financial standing and investment direction, he said the current cash reserves were RM1.3 billion in the form of fixed deposits, and that the figure did not include cash reserves in other Felda subsidiaries.

Najib also said Felda had invested RM844 million in the equity market by buying shares in companies like Malaysia International Shipping Corporation and Maybank.

"Today, the value of that investment is about RM4 billion, five times more than the original cost of purchase. And, they are saying that we are bankrupt?

"Even Felda's commercial land, which costs us RM2.5 billion, has a conservative selling value of RM10 billion."

Felda, Najib said, used its own money to give out interest-free loans to settlers and did not receive any financial assistance from the government.

He assured settlers that Felda would continue to prosper and urged them to safeguard the image of Felda in the face of allegations and accusations by irresponsible parties.

Najib later opened the Mara Junior Science College Felda Trolak, which he named Tun Abdul Razak College.

The construction of the RM123-million college was wholly funded by Felda

Felda 'children' to clear the air

SUNGKAI: The children of Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) settlers, including professionals, will go to the ground to explain the financial status of the agency and collect signatures to protest against a Suara Keadilan article claiming that it was bankrupt.

Gabungan Wawasan Generasi Felda (GWGF), an organisation set up in August 2002 comprising 34,000 members who are primarily from Felda settlements, has taken steps to debunk the article "Felda Bangkrap", which appeared in the June 22-29 issue of Parti Keadilan Rakyat's publication.


GWGF chairman Tan Sri Rozali Ismail said it was his duty, as a product of the community, to clear the confusion that the article might have caused.


"It is our responsibility to protect the honour and reputation of Felda and its settlers who have benefited from the 44-year-old organisation.

"We cannot allow unscrupulous parties to drag Felda through the mud for their selfish gains," he said at a briefing on the socio-economic restructuring programme under the New Economic Model and current Felda issues here yesterday.


The signatures of 600 settlers and their families were also collected at the the event at Felda Besout, Trolak .

Rozali, who is the founder of the integrated water service company, Puncak Niaga Sdn Bhd, grew up in Felda Gedangsa in Hulu Selangor.

He urged the community not to fall for the reports of Felda being in financial ruin.


"Felda is stable and strong. You can see it for yourselves from the regular dividend returns and the multiple Felda offices still operating smoothly nationwide."

Speaking to reporters later, Rozali said he had met Felda's top management on Thursday, and that GWGF would collect more signatures in Negri Sembilan, Johor Baru and Kuantan.

The organisation aims to obtain up to 500,000 signatures which would be sent to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak by September.

Meanwhile, some 300 Felda settlers gathered at the Terengganu Felda regional office in Tepoh, near Kuala Terengganu, to protest against the article.

The group from 12 Felda settlements carried placards and banners condemning the publication for its allegations.

They also chanted slogans in support of the prime minister and Felda management.

The gathering was also attended by Felda regional general manager Abdul Malib Abd Rani.

Felda Youth Council (Terengganu) president Fauzi Mat Adam later handed over a banner signed by settlers and youth council members to Malib
