UiTM gets RM14.7m fine after investment arm breaks Pahang land ownership terms over solar park project in Gambang


Abstract

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 21 — The Kuantan District and Land Office (PDT) has imposed a RM14.7 million fine on Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), purportedly for violating land ownership terms undertaken by its investment arm for a project in Gambang, Pahang.

District officer Datuk Aida Munira Abdul Rafar said the evaluation process for the fine has been completed and the university has been given notice to make the payment, Utusan Malaysia reported today.

“The Kuantan PDT presented a proposal to UiTM to start instalment payments from January to December 2024, including the current annual tax.

“But to date, we have yet to receive any response or payment from UiTM. So Kuantan PDT will issue a notice of demand to the institution starting next year,” she was quoted as saying.
