The lawsuit against Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (Felcra) has exposed fraudulent practices in the agency, said PAS.

The trial that has just concluded in favour of the plaintiff Mohamad Ramly Sanji, a descendent of a Felcra scheme participant, has revealed that Felcra “has long cheated” the defendant’s mother, said Mohd Hafez Sabri, special officer to the Perak PAS commissioner.

He said the Ipoh High Court in arriving at the decision has ruled that the agreement between Felcra and Mohamad Ramly’s mother was not valid.

The plaintiff, with the help of PAS initiative Badan Bertindak Peserta Felcra (Bapa), had sued Felcra for invading his two hectare property in Kacu Tapah, Perak, that he had inherited from his mother, a former Felcra participant.

Felcra had attempted to take over the land for palm oil plantation.

Hassan Abd Rahman, the Ipoh High Court judicial commissioner, issued Felcra a mandatory injunction to vacate the land in 30 days at the agency’s own cost.

He also ordered Felcra to compensate the plaintiff with costs to be assessed.

The win chalks a victory for Bapa, that Mohd Hafez says is actively touring Felcra schemes nationwide to create awareness and help participants get justice against any wrongdoing by Felcra.
