KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will officially close the ‘Karnival Ikatan Hati Warga Felda’ (Iktiraf) 2010 which is expected to bring together about 50,000 Felda settlers to the ‘Medan Pancarona’, Putrajaya on Dec 12.

Felda director-general Datuk Dzulkifli Ab Wahab said the three-day carnival will be the climax to the ‘Karnival Iktiraf’ at the regional level, which had been held since last July in 11 Felda regions throughout the country.

“Iktiraf is a programme activated by the Publicity Unit (Felda) of the Prime Minister’s Department and Felda, with the collaboration of Felda Youth Council Malaysia (MBFM) to fulfil the aspiration of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as the Prime Minister who is responsible for Felda affairs.

“It also provides the stage for the new generation of Felda settlers to get together, whether they are still staying in the land scheme or had already ventured out, including those who are still studying,” he said at a media conference on the launching of the carnival. — Bernama
