DPM Ahmad Zahid To Meet Terengganu MB Over Warning Notices On Felda, FGV Land

Cyberjaya: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will hold discussions with Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar regarding warning notices issued by the state government on plantation lots owned by Felda and FGV Holdings Berhad (FGV). Zahid, who is also the Rural and Regional Development Minister, said the matter can be resolved through dialogue, noting that Felda falls under the Prime Minister's Department and therefore within his purview to address issues affecting the agency.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Zahid expressed confidence in resolving the issue, emphasizing the importance of the welfare of the people of Terengganu and the country. He conveyed this sentiment to reporters after officiating the Cyberjaya Conversations Summit 2025, highlighting the need for constructive dialogue.

In a joint statement, Felda and FGV announced they are conducting a comprehensive review of all related documents to address the warning notices issued by the Terengganu government. This review includes examining historical records, payment documentation, land premium transactions, ownership status, and plantation development conditions.

The warning notices, which address unlawful occupation or trespassing, were issued by the Terengganu government on plantation lots in the districts of Besut, Setiu, Dungun, Hulu Terengganu, Marang, and Kemaman on November 30, December 1, and 2. Despite these notices, Felda and FGV assured that the operations of settler-owned plantations and the livelihood activities of settlers in Felda's Terengganu Region remain unaffected, allowing them to continue their daily routines as usual.
