PUTRAJAYA: All financial obligations related to 10 FGV Holdings Bhd plantations covering around 15,000ha of land in Terengganu have been resolved by the Federal government, says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.
The Communications Minister said the government is waiting for the next course of action by the Terengganu government to ensure the matter is resolved smoothly.
"The Cabinet was informed that all land-related obligations that were in dispute with the state government had been paid previously but several matters have not been followed-up by the state.
"Treasury Secretary-General Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican is expected to hold discussions with the Terengganu government on Friday (Dec 5) evening, to ensure that what the Federal Government had paid off should be followed up on," he told reporters when met at the International Anti-Corruption Day 2025 event at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) here on Friday.
On Thursday (Dec 4), Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said he would propose recommendations to resolve the Terengganu government's warning notices on 10 Felda and FGV plantation lots to the Cabinet meeting on Friday (Dec 5).
On Nov 30, the Terengganu government issued warning notices at land cultivated by Felda at 10 plantations in the state.
The notices were issued simultaneously to estate management teams in Setiu, Besut, Kemaman, Marang, Dungun and Hulu Terengganu.
Terengganu agriculture, agro-based industry, food security and commodities executive councillor Datuk Dr Azman Ibrahim was previously reported as stating that the action was taken after Felda failed to respond to the state's demand for payment of 30% of profits from state-owned land that had been developed over the past 40 years.
