BENTONG – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim gave his assurance that the unity government will continue to empower and give the best attention to Felda and its settlers. 

He said the issues raised by the group, including infrastructure problems such as street lights, internet access, village clinics, and dialysis centres, would be addressed as soon as possible.

Anwar had asked Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Felda chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek to help facilitate and speed up the process of overcoming the problems faced in the settlements.

“I also told the other ministers to do the same (work). The minister of education, the minister of health… everything has to be coordinated so that within a year or two, we give better attention and the best we have ever done.

“This is my commitment. I want the ministries to be involved and I will mention this in the Cabinet meeting,” he said during Karnival Segalanya Felda at Felda Chemomoi Business Square, here today. – October 2, 2023
