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.
