KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic) wants the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) to redouble its efforts to resolve issues that have long plagued settlers, especially those involving second-generation housing and land ownership.
In a Facebook post yesterday, he said the issues must not be allowed to drag on and called for immediate action in the interests of Felda residents.
“Every problem needs to be carefully examined and followed up with a clear solution plan,” he said in a Bernama report.
Anwar said the Madani government will continue to strengthen Felda and ensure that every effort implemented truly benefits the settlers and their families.
He later congratulated 17 Malaysian students on winning nine overall awards and 22 medals at the 2016 Koala Excellence Olympiad (KEO) Global Finals in Macau, which concluded on Sunday.
“Congratulations to our young Malaysians on your outstanding achievements in Macau. Continue striving for excellence, and may you achieve even greater success in the future, God willing,” he said in a post on X yesterday.
Earlier, Malaysia Young Scientists Organisation (MYSO) coordinator and head of the Malaysian contingent to Macau, Aidah Misran, said the team won a total of five gold, six silver and 11 bronze medals.
The competition, organised by KEO and Miss Man International Group and coordinated in Malaysia by MYSO, brought together students from various countries to compete in the English, Mathematics, Science and Arts Olympiads.
KEO is an international competition platform developed by a team of Australian educational experts and graduates covering four disciplines: English, Mathematics, Science, and Arts.
