KUANTAN: Felda Bukit Goh settlers here hope the RM810 million allocation set aside for Felda schemes under 2020 Budget will be put to good use. Felda Bukit Goh Village Community Management Council chief Jefri Salim said the amount was quite sizeable and should be meted out according to priority at the respective Felda settlements in the country. We have little issues concerning water supply and second generation homes, so the money could be used elsewhere (other areas). "The RM300 million announcement to abolish interest on loans taken by Felda settlers is also timely as it would allow settlers to start fresh and become debt-free. Meanwhile, second generation Felda settler Shahrinahar Latib from Jengka hopes that more affordable homes will be built for the new generation of Felda settlers.
