The legal status of FELDA settlers

The general impression that the members of the public have is that FELDA is a government department which is concerned with oil palm and rubber and it provides lands to the settlers to work on. Those who are not sure of the status of the settlers are of the view that the settlers are exploited by FELDA. it seems that the settlers have become the victims of being poor, uneducated and are obliged to work on the land with small incomes. However, whatever the inequities faced by the settlers there is no opinion stated as to how it can be stopped or avoided. The simple reason for this failure is that there is no clear picture of the status and the rights of the settlers.
