COPS COMPLETE PROBE INTO FELDA JALAN SEMARAK LAND DEAL

IGP says investigation papers have been submitted to A-GC

POLICE have completed their investigations into the Felda Jalan Semarak land deal and submitted the investigation papers (IP) to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

In a text message to the New

Straits Times, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun confirmed that the IP was submitted to the A-G’s Chambers yesterday.

Earlier, he told reporters that investigations had been completed.

“We were supposed to submit the IP last week, but due to technical reasons, it was delayed. However, we are now ready to submit them,” he said without commenting further.

Earlier this month, police recorded former Felda chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Samad’s statement as part of their probe into the Jalan Semarak land scandal.

It is learnt that police have recorded statements from at least nine people, including those on Felda’s board of directors, as well as developer Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd (SPSB).

It was reported last month that Felda was at risk of losing ownership of its Jalan Semarak land, worth more than RM200 million, in what was described as a “dubious deal” conducted in 2015.

The ownership transfer of the land took place when FIC Sdn Bhd appointed SPSB as its main developer on June 3, 2014, and it was granted full power of attorney to develop the land.

The land, however, has since been handed back to Felda.
