Sime Darby Plantation says its land was compulsorily acquired to benefit a foreign-owned company.
The three other parties named are the director of Land and Mines, Melaka; the Jasin district land administrator; and GIA Resources. The company asserted that Istana Negara, or the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, as a federal institution, could not interfere in land matters which come under the purview of the state government.
The company further said that GIA Resources was abusing its relationship with Istana Negara to avoid an open tender sale, thus enabling it to own the land at below market value. Razlan said he had been advised by his lawyers that the acquisition is against Article 13 of the Federal Constitution, which states that no one should be deprived of property save in accordance with the law.
