The strong showing of Felda settlers for Barisan Nasional (BN) in the recent Johor state election demonstrates their continued trust in the coalition to lead the state's development and care for their welfare. All 350 polling streams across 67 voting centers in 73 Felda schemes were won by BN candidates.
Datuk Amizar Abu Adam, Pahang State Executive Councillor for Felda Affairs, Cooperatives, and Entrepreneurship, stated that the results were not just a political win but a reflection of public appreciation for BN's track record and ongoing commitment to the settlers and the new generation of Felda residents.
Amizar emphasized that Felda residents make choices based on performance, experience, and a leadership's ability to solve public issues, rather than just slogans or promises. He congratulated the voters for fulfilling their democratic duty, which contributed to BN's significant victory in the Felda areas.
He added that this success was not coincidental but stemmed from the people's confidence in BN's service record and continuous efforts to protect the welfare of settlers and the new generation. The history of settlers developing the land through hard work and sacrifice forms the foundation of the Felda community's strength today.
"The value of remembering service, appreciating sacrifice, and defending the legacy is what continues to guide Felda residents in making decisions for their future," Amizar said. He reminded everyone not to underestimate the Felda community, which has contributed significantly to national development, noting that settlers are mature enough to discern a leader's sincerity and differentiate between continuous service and seasonal promises.
