KUALA LUMPUR (March 18): The Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) and the Terengganu state government on Wednesday signed a settlement agreement to streamline the land ownership status of commercial plantations in six districts in the state. In a statement, Felda said the districts involved are Besut, Setiu, Dungun, Hulu Terengganu, Marang and Kemaman. It said the move marks a continuation of long-standing cooperation between both parties since 1969 under the Land Development Schemes Agreements (Terengganu State Agreement), based on the Land (Group Settlement Areas) Act 1960 (Act 530). Previously, the Terengganu state government issued notices prohibiting encroachment on land cultivated by Felda involving 10 plantations covering about 15,000 hectares. In a related development, Terengganu state secretary Datuk Mohamad Azmi Mohd Daham said a series of negotiations between the state government and Felda had successfully finalised the key terms.
