A non-governmental organisation handed a memorandum to the Sultan of Kelantan over the alleged abuse of power by the state government in selling land to companies from outside the state.
The Kelantan People’s Action Council – led by its president Azmi Ali – was accompanied by hundreds of people, who gathered at Dataran Al-Muhammadi facing Istana Balai Besar in town, to hand over the memorandum.
The memorandum, entitled “Anomalies of PAS-led Kelantan government and surrendering state land to alien companies” was received by a palace official Zairi Abdullah, on behalf of Sultan Muhammad V at about 10.50am.
“Our pleas to the state government have fallen on deaf ears.
“As the people of Kelantan, we will always support Sultan Muhammad V and believe that he has the power to stop the sale of the land under his rule,” said Azmi.
The alleged sale of land under the Ladang Rakyat scheme came under fire after pro-Barisan Nasional blogs claimed that 4,000ha of land in Gua Musang had been sold to Perak DAP leaders.
Kelantan Deputy Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob in reply denied that the land scheme project in the southern region of Kelantan was a failure, and instead blamed land settlers for not using the proper channel and dealing with illegal land syndicates in those areas.
Ahmad Yakob, who is also the Public Administration, Land and Regional Development Committee chairman, claimed that the accusations were staged owing to the upcoming general election.
Jangan kerana politk abis semua tanah milik rakyat tergadai.Ingat hukum alam sampai jangan alam marah balik pada kita.
