KOTA BHARU, Nov 21 (Bernama) -- More than RM23.4 million in premium arrears and other payments have not been settled by the federal land development agencies in Kelantan.
Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud said the agencies involved are Felcra Berhad with RM14.75 million, Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) (RM1.55 million) and South Kelantan Development Authority (Kesedar) with arrears valued at RM7.13 million.
He said the Kelantan Government had taken appropriate steps such as issuing Notice 5A and also held negotiations with the agencies involved.
"Any land approval that is not accompanied by payment to Notice 5A is void, but for areas subject to the Land Act (Group Settlement Areas) 1960 (GSA Act), the disposal of land by the government to other applicants is necessary to comply with the requirements of the act itself," he said.
He was replying to a supplementary question by Wan Rohimi Wan Daud (PAS-Melor) who asked about land scheme agencies which still failed to pay premiums at the State Legislative Assembly meeting at Kota Darulnaim Complex, today.
