KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) has been recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) for organising the “Most Participants in Oil Palm-Themed Treasure Hunt”.
The record was set through Felda’s Kembara Sawit Lestari programme under its fourth cluster, featuring activities such as an indoor hunt, scavenger hunt, and educational hunt.
A total of 1,040 settlers took part in the event, held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre in conjunction with Felda Settler Day 2025.
MBR special officer Edwin Yeoh presented the certificate to Felda director-general Datuk Dr Suzana Idayu Wati Osman at a ceremony hosted by the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade), witnessed by Felda deputy director-general (plantations) Izham Mustaffa.
Speaking at the event yesterday, Izham said Felda also held a three-day seminar beginning July 31 to help maximise profits and overall production in oil palm activities.
“If togetherness and accurate information can be implemented, then, God willing, productivity and quality achievements can be realised through this programme and seminar,” he told reporters.
Izham added that Felda, as a committed oil palm producer, aims to ensure its products are sustainable and globally marketable, in line with the theme Sawitku Mendunia.
“This means our oil palm, which reflects 80 per cent of settlers’ hard work, can be marketed across the globe,” he said, noting that all Felda settlements are certified under the Malaysia Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) scheme to support the government’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
“We adopt good practices, comply with all laws and principles of palm oil management, and uphold good governance to produce high-quality products,” he said.
These practices, he added, will be instilled across all levels—from settlers and the new Felda generation to workers and management—in line with MSPO certification requirements. – BERNAMA
