The former chief executive of Felda Investment Corp has claimed trial to two cheating charges, The Star reports.
The charges relate to the KLVC project, according to Malay Mail, which reported ahead of the hearing that the ex-CEO was expected to face charges over alleged misappropriation linked to that project.
Malaysiakini reports that the former executive is accused of deceiving the board of directors. The Edge Malaysia also reported that the ex-CEO was charged with cheating and entered a claim of trial.
The case was heard on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, according to the publication dates on the reports. No further details of the charges, the amounts involved, or the court's schedule were available in the source material.
Felda Investment Corp is the investment arm of the Federal Land Development Authority, the Malaysian agency known as Felda. The reports from The Star, Malaysiakini, Malay Mail and The Edge Malaysia all centre on the same former senior figure at that investment unit.
Free Malaysia Today separately reported that a former senior Felda officer was set to be charged, in coverage that appeared alongside the other reports.
Because the accused has claimed trial, the matter is expected to proceed through the courts rather than conclude at the first hearing. The next development to watch is the court's handling of the case, including any further mention or trial dates, which were not specified in the reporting available.
