Over the last few years, embattled Felda has experienced a series of setbacks that have cast a shadow over the organisation’s reputation.

We speak to Tan Sri Shahrir Samad about the controversial Eagle High acquisition, his plans to restructure Felda and the future of the settler’s land developer.
