KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak wants the authorities to conduct a tho­rough probe into the issue of ownership of four parcels of Felda land in Jalan Semarak here that has been transferred to a private company in an alleged dubious deal. “Measures have to be taken to safeguard the interests of Felda and its settlers,” Najib told repor­ters here yesterday. He also advised Felda to take the appropriate action to protect its interests after having been inform­ed of the land issue. “We must always protect the interests of Felda and the settlers in all development efforts,” Najib said. In Johor Baru, the Felda Youth Council of Malaysia (MBFM) and National Felda Settlers Children Association (Anak) called for im­­me­diate investigations be carried out to bring those responsible to book.
