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 , based on the Land Act 1960 . “The settlement will generate economic returns and benefits for the Felda community as a whole, in line with efforts to strengthen their socio-economic development and well-being,” the statement said. Felda also expressed appreciation to the federal government for acting as the main facilitator, as well as to the Terengganu state government and other parties involved in finalising the agreement. “The close cooperation between the federal and state governments, as well as Felda, has been the key driver in achieving this amicable resolution, reflecting effective governance in the interest of the people,” it said. Previously, the Terengganu state government issued notices prohibiting encroachment on land cultivated by Felda involving 10 plantations covering about 15,000 hectares. It had claimed the land was developed without payment of premiums, taxes or profit-sharing for over 40 years.
