Opposition's Felda Roadshow Nothing New - Mohd Isa

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- The opposition's endeavour to organise a nationwide Felda roadshow in view of the coming general election was not a departure from the norm, said Felda chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad.

"They know that Felda is a staunch Barisan Nasional (BN) supporter, that's why they try to create numerous issues to confuse the Felda community," he said when asked to comment on the political forums being held by the opposition in Felda settlements.

Speaking to reporters after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Felda Foundation and the National Cancer Council (Makna) here today, Mohd Isa said Felda would have no difficulty in countering issues raised by the opposition.

"We have prepared ourselves to respond to their claims. We (Felda) are on the right (path) as we stand by facts, while the opposition is relying on imagination and wild guesses to confuse the people," he said.

He was confident that the Felda community, including the young generation, would continue to support the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

On the MoU Friday, Mohd Isa said it was aimed at fulfilling Felda'corporate social responsibility to the community.

"It encompasses 24 cancer awareness programmes for this year. I hope the Felda community, including residents in nearby areas, would come for health examination and screening, obtain treatment and counselling by Makna," he added.

Mohd Isa said the foundation had set aside almost RM600,000, as well as logistics for Makna, to carry out the programmes in 24 selected Felda settlements nationwide.
