PETALING JAYA: Fahmi Fadzil revealed that former premier Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin agreed to waive the Felda debt, but it was Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who officially approved it.
“In 2021, the then-prime minister promised to waive the Felda debt of RM8.3bil. The debt was waived by Felda and not by the Federal government,” Fahmi explained in a Facebook video on Thursday (July 20).
“On June 26 this year, (Prime Minister Datuk Seri) Anwar Ibrahim signed the Financial Service Reserve Account (FSRA) which includes financial aid of RM9.9bil to Felda over 10 years,” he added.
Fahmi clarified that the Felda debt was not settled by the Federal Government until June 26, 2023, when it was approved by Anwar.
Anwar and Muhyiddin have been involved in a dispute over who was responsible for waiving the RM8.3bil Felda debt.
