| Malaysia Today: Court finds <b>Felda</b> guilty, again Posted: 15 Jun 2011 07:13 PM PDT MalaysiaToday : KOTA BHARU - 131 settlers from Felda Kemahang 1 and 2 yesterday secured another court victory against the Federal Land Authority (Felda) for failing to return their investment in its replantation fund over the last 20 years. Exciting promos and get rewarded! In his verdict, Kota Bharu High Court judge Mohd Azman Husin ordered Felda to pay RM1.2 million as compensation to the settlers, and called for an audit on the body's replantation fund. In an immediate response, National Felda Settlers' Children Association (ANAK) chairman Mazlan Aliman described the verdict as "encouraging" for the settlers and proved that ANAK's struggle had gained momentum. "This is an encouraging result which is long awaited and is a repeat of the earlier case brought by lawyer Hanipa Maidin in the case of Felda Sungai Koyan (in which the court ruled that the settlers deserved the replantation fund). "This shows that the struggle by Felda settlers is gaining momentum and justice is finally theirs," Mazlan toldHarakahdaily. On the RM1.2 million compensation, Mazlan said the amount included monthly contributions as investment by the settlers and the dividend they were entitled to. In August last year, 354 Felda settlers from Kemahang 3 in Kelantan were awarded compensation amounting to RM11 million, after Felda was found guilty of manipulating palm oil grades. The latest victory, said Mazlan, was crucial in boosting confidence among settlers. "This is an important decision because it involves almost 10,000 settlers who do not receive the replantation fund, and there are cases still on trial," he said. He revealed that some 700 settlers from Felda Jengka would be filing a suit led by lawyer Sivarasa Rasiah at the Temerloh High Court. Meanwhile, Mazlan said the Selangor state government's Felda Task Force Secretariat had held discussion yesterday regarding the Group Settlements Act (GSA) 1960 officiated by Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim. "The panel comprising of lawyers who explained and debated on the GSA from the point of weaknesses, abuses and what can be done to improve on Felda, which included how this act fairly to the settlers," he explained. The panel, said Mazlan, agreed to identify weaknesses in the GSA and make revisions to ensure justice to land owners. - Harakahdaily Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
