Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) chairperson Shahrir Samad’s declaration that the agency will not protect corrupt elements in Felda rings hollow given the RM2.12 billion deal to buy Eagle High Plantation in Indonesia, said PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli.

Shahrir said he welcomes the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's investigation into Felda and will not protect any wrongdoers.

"Don't think that welcoming an investigation on small fry in Felda will cover up the actual legacy he and former Felda Global Ventures chairperson Mohd Isa Samad will leave.
