Land awarded for Malaysia Cup win encroached, turned into vegetable farm

A piece of land awarded to a former Perak football player for his role in the 2018 Malaysia Cup victory has allegedly been encroached upon and converted into a vegetable farm. The player, who requested anonymity, expressed his shock upon discovering the state government-granted residential land in Hulu Kinta had been illegally occupied.

He stated that he was surprised to find the land, a reward for his team's success in the prestigious tournament, had been transformed into an agricultural plot. This discovery raises questions about land management and the security of awarded properties in the region.

The incident highlights a potential issue of land grabbing or unauthorized use of state-allocated land. The former player's claim underscores the importance of protecting such awards and ensuring that beneficiaries can utilize their granted properties without interference.
