Felda's Second Generation Will Receive Windfall After Aidilfitri

KUALA LUMPUR, (Bernama) -- Felda's second generation settlers are expected to receive their 'windfall' after the Aidilfitri celebration, according to Felda Group chairman Tan Sri Isa Samad.

However, he said, the actual date would be decided by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

"We have no problem (giving the windfall). The prime minister will decide when, and we will pay because the money is already there.

"At the moment, we (Felda) are arranging the giving of the second phase of windfall to settlers' wives. More that 50 per cent of the distribution which started in the first week of Ramadan has been completed for those who qualify."

Isa said this at a press conference before a function to fete orphans and recipients of Ramadan contributions organised by Felda Foundation and Felda Group of Companies at Dewan Perdana Felda, here.
