PETALING JAYA: In a continuation of the Felda debt saga, Fahmi Fadzil says that former premier Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin agreed to waive the debt but it was Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who actually signed it off.
"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 said In a Facebook reel 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 a span of 10 years," he said.
He added that this meant that the Felda debt was not paid by the Federal Government until June 26, 2023, when it was signed by Anwar.
The past few days have seen Anwar and Muhyiddin engaged in a spat over who actually waived the Felda debt of RM8.3bil.
