PETALING JAYA: The first generation of the Felda settlers voted for Barisan Nasional – namely Umno – without fail for decades because they felt indebted to the party for having raised them out of the poverty cycle through the settlement programmes, says one-time Umno big gun and former Pahang Mentri Besar Tan Sri Adnan Yaakob (pic).

However, such deep gratitude is not felt as much by the second and third generation settlers, said the former eight-term Pelangai state assemblyman of Barisan Nasional.
