Festival FGV 2025 Receives Overwhelming Response, Attracts Over 2.1 Million Visitors
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 (Bernama) -- The FGV Festival 2025, organised by FGV Holdings Berhad (FGV) from July 30 to Aug 3 in conjunction with FELDA Settlers' Day 2025 at the Mega 3 Dimensional (MK3D) Carnival, received an overwhelming response with over 2.1 million visitors. FGV Group Chief Executive Officer Fakhrunniam Othman stated that the festival, a joint effort with the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development, the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development, and the Federal Land Development Authority, is a testament to FGV's commitment to empowering rural communities and driving the country's palm oil industry transformation to a global stage. "The FGV Festival 2025 provided us with a space to engage with them, listen directly, and build stronger trust. Today, more than 70% of FGV's fresh fruit bunches (FFB) come from FELDA settlers and smallholders. 'This relationship goes beyond mere numbers; it is a significant trust that remains the core of every step in our transformation. FGV remains committed to working together to build an inclusive and sustainable future for the nation," he said in a statement today. Among the festival's main highlights were the launch of five new SAJI products, the introduction of mechanisation technology for the plantation sector, strategic collaborations with Universiti Malaysia Kelantan for the development of food supplements and with Ditrolic Energy for the installation of a 5-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) system across 11 FGV operations, as well as the company's first mobile game, FGV EduGames. Fakhrunniam said the support from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for the festival sends a clear signal that the future of FELDA and FGV is a crucial agenda in the country's development. "The ongoing transformation of FGV is a strategic move that strengthens its commitment to settlers, shareholders, business partners, and the business ecosystem. "In fact, FGV will continue to be committed to responsible business practices, integrity, and the core values we hold - Partnership, Respect, Integrity, Dynamism, Enthusiasm (P.R.I.D.E)," he said. He stated that FGV's consumer brands, such as SAJI, SERI PELANGI, and GULA PRAI, have built a strong reputation among local consumers through their quality, value, and reliability.

Felda to consult PMD on RM100,000 allocation for land scheme villages
KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) will consult the Prime Minister's Department to determine the best approach for distributing the RM100,000 allocation to each village in its land schemes, as announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday. Its chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek said the move aims to ensure the funds are distributed efficiently and achieve the government's objectives. "We will refer to PMD to establish the appropriate criteria for recipients to ensure that the assistance is properly utilised and achieves the intended goals," he said. He said the allocation would be tailored to the needs of individual villages, some of which have Land Scheme Working Committees (JKTR), cooperatives, or youth councils. Ahmad Shabery said this to reporters after launching the Felda Robo and Novate 2025 programme, themed 'Young Innovators, Global Future,' at the Mega 3D Carnival (MK3D) 2025 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (Mitec). Also present was Felda director-general Datuk Dr Suzana Idayu Wati Osman. Yesterday, Anwar announced the RM100,000 allocation for each village under Felda to fund development projects decided by the local residents. This initiative aligns with the Madani government's focus on consultation and empowering the people. Regarding the delisting of FGV Holdings Bhd (FGV) from Bursa Malaysia, Ahmad Shabery said it should not be viewed negatively. He said delisting will allow for a restructuring of the company without being constrained by the regulations governing public companies, ultimately enabling Felda to fully own FGV and run welfare activities for settlers more effectively. Anwar had earlier confirmed that Felda would have control over FGV's direction once the delisting process is completed, which will begin on August 28.
