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.

Pahang revenue exceeds RM400m so far
KUALA LIPIS: Revenue collection for Pahang has exceeded RM400 million so far, and the state government is on track to repeat last year's performance of collecting over RM1 billion. Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail added that currently this year's collection was better compared to the previous year. 'This is because we managed to tackle leakages and state government subsidiaries were able to record profits,' he said at a media conference after an FGV event featuring the Pahang Menteri Besar at Sultan Ahmad Shah Mosque at Sungai Koyan here this afternoon. FGV channelled RM80,000 in aid from business zakat to 200 asnaf recipients, with each individual receiving RM300 in cash and SAJI products worth RM50, and also donated RM10,000 to the mosque at today's event. Wan Rosdy said the state government's success stemmed from the close cooperation between all parties, including leaders, civil servants and government agencies in developing Pahang. 'I am very satisfied with what has been achieved, it is not my effort alone but a result of teamwork in the spirit of togetherness,' he said. On the state's latest partnership with FGV in the future, he admitted that there were various plans being implemented but cannot be announced before they were finalised.
