A group of some 100 people gathered at the Suara Keadilan office in Shah Alam this afternoon to hand over a memorandum protesting allegations that Felda is bankrupt.

Assembling in front of the Suara Keadilan office at around 2.50pm, a spokesperson for the group read out the memorandum, while some members started burning copies of the publication, causing traffic disruption.       

Suara Keadilan’s management went down at around 3.07pm to receive the memorandum, after which the group began to disperse. The whole event ended at around 3.15pm.

Earlier last week, the Umno Kota Raja division protested by burning copies of the publication ( left ) during the division’s annual general meeting.

Felda has also threatened to sue the PKR organ for its report, claiming that it was incorrect and full of “blatant lies”.

The article has also landed Suara Keadilan in hot soup with the Home Ministry, which issued a show-cause letter demanding an explanation.
