Setiausaha Agung Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Saifuddin Nasution semalam, mengakui tuduhan bahawa FELDA mengeksport minyak kelapa sawit ke Israel adalah satu fitnah.
Saifuddin selaku defanden ketujuh dalam kes saman fitnah oleh Felda ke atas beliau dan enam orang lagi mengakui bahawa Felda Iffco Oil Product Sdn Bhd telah melakukan penghantaran ke Palestin bukannya Israel pada 20 Mac 2010.
Saifuddin juga mengakui bahawa Felda tidak pernah menjual minyak kelapa sawit mentah kepada Israel atau mana-mana syarikat milik Israel seperti dalam dakwaan artikel, “2,000 Himpun Bantah Felda Jual Minyak ke Israel” dan “BN Jangan Tipu Rakyat” yang diterbitkan oleh Suara Keadilan pada 27 November 2012.
Selain Saifuddin mereka yang disaman oleh Felda ialah, Presiden Persatuan Anak Peneroka Felda (Anak), Mazlan Aliman; Setiausaha Agung Pas, Mustafa Ali; Ketua Pengarang Harakah, Ahmad Lutfi Othman, editor Taufek Yahya, pnulis artikel Mohd Arif Atan dan pencetak Harakah, Angkatan Edaran Ent Sdn Bhd.
Mahkamah telah mendengar keterangan daripada tujuh orang saksi dari pihak plaintif dan defendan. Saifuddin sepatutnya memberi semalam tetapi meminta penyelesaian luar mahkamah.
Mahkamah menetapkan 30 April ini bagi keputusan enam lagi defendan.
According to its statement of claim, Felda claimed that Mazlan had posted a defamatory statement on his Facebook page on Nov 19, 2012 and had also made the same statement during a gathering in front of the Felda office four days later (Nov 23, 2012).
Felda claimed that the statement was republished by the second to sixth defendants in several Harakah newspaper articles between Nov 26 and 29, 2012.
Felda further claimed that the statement had affected Felda’s reputation and that the defendants had done so with the intention to achieve their personal agendas to destroy people’s faith in Felda.
The plaintiff sought general and exemplary damages, costs and other relief deemed fit by the court.
Saifuddin was represented by counsel William Leong while the other defendants were represented by counsel Azhana Mohd Khairuddin.
