Felda Deputy Director General,now doing 'paper cutting' at PM's Dept..

The Koperasi Permodalan Felda (KPF) secretary has been exiled to the Prime Minister's Department for allegedly opposing the appointment of Isa Samad as the co-operative chairperson, according a PAS parliamentarian.

Mahfuz Omar claimed that Abidin Abdul Rahman, who is also a Felda deputy director-general, has been "cold-storaged", reduced to doing paper cutting for the department's library as of March 1.

The Pokok Sena MP added that Abidin has to suffer the consequences of voicing out his concerns in December on the proposed appointment of Isa, as Felda chairperson, to lead KPF - a move deemed violating the co-operative rules.

The Umno assemblyperson and former Negeri Sembilan menteri besar has been Felda chairperson since January last year.

Mahfuz ( right) said Abidin had said that he would only accept Isa's appointment as KPF chairperson if he is a member of the co-operative.

"And to be a member, Isa must be either a Felda settler or an operations staff," Mahfuz told Malaysiakini yesterday.   

He claimed that the Felda board first suggested that Abidin be transferred to Public Service Department (PSD) but that was not possible as Felda is a statutory body while PSD is a government entity.

'A shameful humiliating move'

Abidin was subsequently moved to the Prime Minister's Department, the politician said.

"This is an shameful move (by the government) to humiliate a government officer," Mahfuz said.

It was earlier alleged that Felda director-general Dzulkifli Abdul Wahab was forced to take study leave for nine months for  apparently opposing Isa's appointment.
 
It is also believed that both Felda top officers have been against against the proposal to float Felda Global Ventures Holdings (FGVH), in which KPF, according to the original plan, was to relinquish its (cooperative) stakes.

"These made us lose faith in the proposed plan to include KPF in the listing. We believe there is a hidden agenda behind the move," the PAS vice-president said.

It remains unclear whether Isa's appointment has been finalised, in spite of PAS-linked settlers NGO Anak voicing strong opposition against the move.- malaysiakini

Timbalan Pengarah Besar Felda ditugas 'gunting akhbar' di JPM

Setiausaha Koperasi Permodalan Felda (KPF) Abidin Abdul Rahman dilaporkan telah ‘disingkirkan’ ke Jabatan Perdana Menteri kerana didakwa membantah pelantikan Tan Sri Isa Samad sebagai pengerusi koperasi itu, kata Naib Presiden PAS, Datuk Mahfuz Omar.

Abidin yang juga adalah Timbalan Pengarah Besar (Pembangunan Komuniti) Felda, kata Mahfuz (kanan), hanya diberikan tugas menggunting keratan akhbar untuk perpustakaan di jabatan itu sejak 1 Mac lalu.

Menurut beliau, Abidin terpaksa menanggung akibatnya apabila menyuarakan kebimbangan ahli pada Disember lalu berhubung cadangan melantik Isa, yang merupakan pengerusi Felda untuk memimpin KPF. Langkah itu dianggap melanggar peraturan koperasi.

Mahfuz berkata Abidin memaklumkan bahawa beliau hanya akan menerima pelantikan Isa sebagai pengerusi KPF jika bekas menteri besar Negeri Sembilan itu adalah seorang ahli koperasi.

"Dan untuk menjadi ahli, Isa (kanan) mestilah sama ada seorang peneroka Felda atau kakitangan operasinya," kata Mahfuz kepada Malaysiakini semalam.

Mahfuz juga mendakwa bahawa pada asalnya lembaga pengarah Felda mencadangkan supaya Abidin dipindahkan ke Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA) tetapi oleh  kerana Felda adalah sebuah badan berkanun manakala JPA adalah entiti kerajaan, maka, ia tidak menjadi kenyataan.

Beliau ke Jabatan Perdana Menteri, kata Mahfuz yang juga ahli parlimen Pokok Sena.

"Ini tindakan memalukan (oleh kerajaan) untuk mengaibkan pegawai kerajaan," kata Mahfuz.

Sebelum ini, Pengarah Besar Felda, Datuk Dzulkifli Abdul Wahab (kiri) pula terpaksa mengambil cuti belajar selama sembilan bulan kerana membantah pelantikan Isa.

Adalah difahamkan juga kedua-dua pegawai kanan Felda itu juga membantah cadangan saham Felda Global Ventures Holdings (FGVH) di Bursa Malaysia.- malaysiakini
