Kuala lumpur: The Pahang government has uncovered a land application fraud syndicate in the Bentong district involving state-owned land. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail stated that the syndicate offered land alienation services by asking members of the public to make payments and sign documents before the process was carried out.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Wan Rosdy emphasized that the Pahang government has not appointed any individual, agent, or company to handle the alienation of state government land outside the procedures stipulated by law. He assured that the state government would not compromise on any attempt to deceive the people or misuse its name, and strict legal action would be taken against those involved.

He further advised the public not to make any payments, sign documents, or conduct any land-related transactions without first obtaining confirmation from the Pahang State Lands and Mines Director's Office or the relevant District and Land Office. Wan Rosdy also urged those who believe they have been deceived to lodge reports with the authorities for further action.

The state government, he added, remains committed to ensuring that every land administration transaction is carried out transparently, with integrity, and in compliance with the law. He cautioned the public to check first, not to trust easily, and to avoid becoming victims of fraud.
