Isa thought hotel purchase was done deal as FIC board didn’t object, says witness

THE Kuala Lumpur High Court was told today that former Felda chairman Mohd Isa Abdul Samad had considered the proposed purchase of Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites (MPHS) in Kuching, Sarawak, for RM160 million, had been agreed by Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd (FICSB) board of directors (BOD) as none of them objected to it.

Former FICSB company secretary Ruzeti Emar Mohd Rosli, 45, when reading out her witness statement, said at the 10th FICSB’s  BOD meeting on April 29, 2014, Isa asked the board members whether they agreed to it or not.
