Felcra records RM178m profit, with RM101m payout to participants starting today, says Zahid
PASIR SALAK, Aug 17 — Felcra Bhd has recorded a profit of RM178 million for up to April 2025, showing an increase compared to the previous year. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, stated that of this amount, RM101 million will be distributed to 74,300 participants nationwide in stages starting today. 'I congratulate Felcra Bhd for successfully maintaining a strong performance, with an increase of nearly RM2 million compared to the same period last year. I will be monitoring the profit distribution to all participants across the country,' he said at the 2025 First Interim Distributable Profit Declaration Ceremony for Felcra Bhd participant projects held here today. Also present were Deputy Minister of Rural and Regional Development Datuk Rubiah Wang and Felcra Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Idris Lasim. In addition, Ahmad Zahid said Felcra Bhd continues to make history in strengthening national food security through the commercialisation of Felcra's MRQ 107 paddy – a local fragrant rice variety that serves as a high-quality alternative to imported fragrant rice. He stated that the Seberang Perak area, covering more than 3,400 hectares and cultivated using modern methods by Felcra, has shown encouraging performance with an average yield reaching eight metric tonnes per hectare annually. 'We expect production to exceed 27,000 metric tonnes of paddy, equivalent to over 16,000 metric tons of rice per year, which can meet the needs of thousands of families. Hopefully, this becomes an example for other paddy farmers,' he said. Meanwhile, Idris said the performance of the first interim distribution for 2025 was influenced by several key factors, including efficient estate management and the implementation of cost-saving measures. 'Through effective approaches in the use of fertilisers, pesticides, and farm inputs, operational costs were reduced by 15 per cent, and yield per hectare increased by 49 per cent,' he said. Idris also informed that Felcra's oil palm projects recorded an average net profit increase of 81 per cent. He emphasised that while profit distribution rates are influenced by crude palm oil price trends, improvements in estate performance remain the primary determining factor. — Bernama

FINAS, EPF, PERKESO boost social protections for Malaysian artistes
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Film Development Corporation of Malaysia (FINAS) is enhancing social protections for local artistes through a partnership with the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) and the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO). The collaboration is supported by the Federation of Malaysian Film Associations (GAFEMA) to ensure better welfare for industry professionals. FINAS chief executive officer Datuk Azmir Saifuddin Mutalib said the initiative enables artistes to enrol in PERKESO's Self-Employment Social Security Scheme (SKSPS) and EPF's voluntary i-Saraan scheme. He added that 200 veteran artistes have already been approved for benefits under the PERKESO SKSPS scheme. FINAS has also sponsored the opening of 1,000 i-Saraan accounts, with priority given to unregistered artistes until September 2025. Azmir stated that FINAS is exploring special incentives or dedicated funds for veteran artistes to sustain their contributions to the industry. Future amendments to the FINAS Act will focus on production workers' welfare, including insurance and mandatory contributions through filming licences. PERKESO data shows a significant rise in registered artistes, from 690 in 2020 to 9,000 in 2024. Contributions under the i-Saraan scheme have surpassed RM23 million, involving 3,900 workers with substantial savings. - Bernama
