Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the first report on Felda is expected next week, according to thestar.com.my. The same timeline was reported by The Edge Malaysia, which said the initial report is due in the coming week.
The report comes amid a widening anti-corruption investigation into the federal land agency. Free Malaysia Today reports that the probe into Felda's KLVC project is complete and that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) intends to press charges. Focus Malaysia reports that the MACC is seeking the attorney general's sanction to prosecute former Felda chiefs over the same project.
Separately, Yahoo reports that former Felda chairman Isa Samad gave a statement from Sungai Buloh Prison as the MACC broadened its investigation. No further details on the content of that statement were available in the source material.
The KLVC project has been the focus of the MACC's inquiries, with the commission now moving toward the prosecution stage, according to Focus Malaysia. The identities of the former Felda officials named in the proposed charges, and the specific offences involved, were not disclosed in the reports.
What to watch next: whether the attorney general grants sanction for the prosecutions, and what the initial Felda report contains when it is released.
