No press conference on Felda land transfer issue
PORT DICKSON: Former Felda chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad yesterday said that he had no plan to hold a press conference anytime soon to explain the issue involving the alleged dubious transfer of Felda land in Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur.
He said this was because he wanted to avoid any misunderstanding and wrong perception on the issue.
“Sure we can (hold the press conference), but we don’t want to create a conflict,” he told reporters here yesterday.
When asked about Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim’s remarks that the police would summon him next week to give his statement on the issue, Isa said he was unaware of the matter.
“I don’t know... I have not been summoned yet. If summoned, I’m ready to coo perate... and you (the media) will be the first to know,” he said while refusing to make any further comment.
