LAHAD DATU: The Barisan Nasional (BN) government has been urged to return Felda Sahabat to its settlers to meet its original objective.
SAPP Assistant Secretary-General and Constituency Liaison Committee Chairman for Tungku, Datu Shuaib bin Datu Mutalib said the lands in Felda Sahabat should be developed with oil palm and the ownership of land given to the settlers in Sahabat Tungku, here.
"The main objective agreed between the State and Federal governments is that the people in Tungku who have no land and poor will be given the chance to be Felda settlers. In fact land titles of the land are to be issued to them after 15 or 20 years residing there as settlers.
"Unfortunately, the objectives did not materialise and the Federal Government did not keep its promises.
"Instead, the Federal Government has handed over Felda to a subsidiary company of Felda Holdings to be listed in Bursa Malaysia.
So who is actually gaining the profit in the buying and selling of the shares?," he asked.
Datu Shuaib said the land acreage of felda Sahabat in Tungku here is 119,000 hectares and its only has 886 settlers with 6.7 hectares each.
In light of this, he questioned where the remaining 110,000 hectares have been channeled.
"In June last year, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Ahmad Maslan stated that Felda has no intention to take any new settlers.
"Therefore, who actually own the remaining 110,000 hectares if no new settlers are being taken in to develop the Felda land? So, what is the use of RM5 billion loans that was applied by Felda from Employees Provident Fund (EPF)?
"And then a subsidiary of Felda company known as Felda Global Venture Holding listed the lands in Bursa Malaysia," Datu Shuaib said.
He said SAPP has emphasised the need for the second generation to be given the priority as new generation settlers as listed in its land reformation policy that was launched, recently.
Felda should return the profits and revenues from the Sabah to the state government to develop the state.
ReplyDeleteOr otherwise, return the 300,000 acres land to Sabah so that the land can be returned to the natives.
DeleteIni apa yang sepatutnya dilakukan oleh Felda kerana adalah objektif asal mereka datang ke Sabah.
DeleteFelda harus memperjelaskan perkara ini..
Deletesebaiknya kembalikanlah tanah tersebut.
Deleteperbincangan harus dibuat untuk mencari penyelesaian terbaik.
DeleteThe government 's intention is good . The problem is the people who are carrying out the implementation and monitoring the process . Put it right if it has gone wrong.
ReplyDeleteTrue said. Some of them lack of integrity hence giving bad images on the govt.
DeleteUsaha untuk memantau program seperti Felda harus ada, tanpa pemantauan kita tidak akan tahu sama ada program ini berjalan seperti apa yang dirancang, sama ada program itu bermanfaat ataupun tidak.
Deletepemantauan dan intergriti harus ada..
Deletepemantauan sememangnya penting untuk memastikan sesuatu perlaksanaan berjalan lancar.
DeleteFederal govt must fulfill their promises for the Felda settlers in Sahabat Tungku.
ReplyDeleteHarap pemimpin tempatan kita akan berusaha menyuarakan isu ini kepada kerajaan persekutuan supaya hak peneroka Felda akan terlindung.
DeletePeneroka Felda perlu dilindungi, para pemimpin Sabah harus peka dengan permasalahan yang dihadapai oleh mereka.
Deletepastikan isu ini diuruskan dengan baik untuk kebaikan semua.
DeleteI want to believe the government has better plan and intention for the people; they are some people out there doing it the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteAll the people wants is that the government fulfil its promises.
DeleteWhatever it is that belongs to the people should be earnestly returned.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the local leaders will try to express these issues to the federal government so that their rights are protected.
ReplyDeletesabah's MPs should voice out this matter in Dewan Rakyat.
Deletesaya yakin pekara ini pasti akan mendapat perhatian yang sewajarnya.
DeleteOur leaders should not ignore problems faces by the people, something must be done immediately.
ReplyDeletei think our leaders should play their roles..
DeleteThere are too many stuff to settle, can't blame them tho.
DeleteThe rights of the people should equally be protected by law and at all time.
ReplyDeletehak dan kepentingan anak negeri harus dipertahankan..
ReplyDeleteIni adalah semestinya.
DeleteBN better step up their performance or else opposition parties especially sapp will make BN look bad in front of the people.
ReplyDeleteThat's the case.
DeleteThat's what they do best.
DeleteMake sure the settlers own the required compensation.
ReplyDeleteJangan biarkan peneroka menangguk di air keruh.
ReplyDeleteNa jawab kamurang! Federal govt ini pun satu juga. Kalau dah janji tu buatlah ba kunun.
ReplyDeletePastikan hal ni diperjelaskan segera. Kalau tak pun perbetulkan saja keadaan supaya semuanya kembali teratur.
ReplyDeleteWell, handling the rights to those poor and no lands people may be worse.
ReplyDeletePengurusan mengenai perkara ini perlulah dilihat semula. Jika Felda tidak dapat menguruskan dengan baik rasanya serahkan saja perkara ini kepada Kerajaan Negeri.
ReplyDeletesebarang isu yang berlaku pasti ada penyelesaiannya..
ReplyDeletekalau semua tanah felda diberikan kepada peneroka, semakin banyak la pengangguran di negeri ini.. tidak perlu ada manager, tidak perlu ada penyelia ladang, tidak perlu ada QI, tidak perlu ada mandur dan sebagainya..
