FGVH Memajak Tanah Rezab Melayu Di Pasaran Saham...

Lebih 105,000 daripada 847,362 ekar tanah yang diusahakan Felda Plantations Sdn Bhd (Felda Plantations) untuk penyenaraian Felda Global Ventures Holdings Sdn Bhd (FGVH) adalah Tanah Rezab Melayu.

Pengarah Strategi PKR, Mohd Rafizi Ramli mempersoalkan perkara itu kerana tindakan memajakkan tanah 105,382 ekar itu boleh melanggar matlamat pewartaan Tanah Rezab Melayu.

Malah, katanya, kedudukan FGVH di Bursa Saham Malaysia selepas ini juga tidak boleh dikira sebagai sebuah syarikat berstatus Bumiputra kerana jumlah pegangan saham Bumiputra tidak dapat disahkan.

“Setakat ini peneroka Felda hanya diperuntukkan 2.5 peratus dari jumlah pegangan saham sementara manakala kakitangan Felda pula hanya 3 peratus.

“Selebihnya melibatkan badan-badan lain yang dijemput masuk Pengerusinya, Tan Sri Isa Samad termasuk Louis Dreyfus iaitu sebuah syarikat antarabangsa yang dikuasai keluarga Yahudi terkenal dari Perancis.

“Oleh itu, Perdana Menterti, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan Isa wajar menjelaskan kepada rakyat kenapakah tanah-tanah berstatus rezab Melayu ini turut dipajakkan ke FGVH yang disenaraikan di pasaran saham?

“Apakah jaminan bahawa tanah-tanah ini akhirnya tidak bertukar tangan atau pembangunannya tidak bertentangan dengan semangat pewartaan Tanah Rezab Melayu yang digubal hampir 100 tahun yang lalu?,” soalnya dalam satu kenyataan dibuat di sini hari ini.

Mohd Rafizi berkata perkara itu disahkan berdasarkan salinan laporan yang diterima dalam perjanjian FGVH dan senarai tanah yang terlibat.

PKR menyeru setiap Kerajaan Negeri yang terlibat menolak sebarang usaha membatalkan status Tanah Rezab Melayu seluas 105,382 ekar itu.

Tanah rezab Melayu itu akan terletak di bawah pengurusan FGVH selepas penyenaraian dan boleh diusahakan mengikut syarat-syarat perjanjian.- selangorku

FGVH gets Malay reserve land 'by back door'...

PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli has claimed that a significant proportion of land to be leased to Felda Global Ventures Holdings (FGVH) for its listing plan is in fact Malay reserve land.

"Our research shows that, of the 847,362 acres of land to be leased nationwide, a total of 105,382 acres have been gazetted as Malay reserve land," he told a press conference at the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya this afternoon.

This, he said, was based on the agreement signed between Felda Plantation Bhd which previously held the land and FGVH.

"The Malay reserve land was created to ensure bumiputera ownership. If any land is taken up by non-bumiputeras, it must be replaced with other land of the same size as Malay reserve land," he said.

However, Rafizi claimed that the deal had used a "back door" method in which the land ownership and status will remain, but FGVH will be given a 99-year lease to manage the land.

"The 99-year lease is akin to transferring the ownership of the land (as) FGVH will not only include bumiputeras and non-bumiputeras, but also foreigners," he said, noting that this would violate the spirit of allocating Malay reserve land.

PKR investment and trade bureau chief Wong Chen, who was at the press conference, said despite Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's promise that the FGVH initial public offering (IPO) will benefit Felda settlers, wealthy bumiputeras will be the main beneficiary.

According to the draft prospectus, he said, Felda settlers are only allocated 2.5 percent of the shares offered, compared to 11.5 percent allocated to bumiputera investors approved by the International Trade and Industries Ministry (Miti).

"Have these investors ever contributed to the development of Felda? We do not know who they are but according to Miti guidelines, it is only limited to the wealthy," he said.

'Wealthy will benefit'

Wong said this is based on the guideline that an investor who wants to buy RM250,000 worth of shares or below must hold RM3 million in individual assets or RM10 million in company assets.

"We also demand that Miti reveals (the identity of) these wealthy bumiputera who will receive FGVH shares... As this is of national interest, we believe that the public deserves to know if they are linked to Umno," he said.

Even Felda staff, who number far less than settlers, have been allocated 3 percent of the shares, compared to 2.5 percent for settlers, he said.

On average, the 3,835 Felda staff will be allocated 28,368 shares each, or 35 times higher than the 810 shares for each of the 112,635 settlers.

"The way the shares are being allocated appear (to show) that the prime minister is only interested in helping the wealthy,” added Wong.

"We challenge Najib to withdraw the shares for wealthy bumiputeras and allocate these to the settlers, as well reduce the shares for Felda staff in favour of the settlers.”- malaysiakini
