The management of the consortium said on Saturday that it wished to reassure planters who registered for the legalisation scheme that it stood by its promise to refund the earnest money should they withdraw their registration.
The consortium said their requests were being processed and the refund would be made within five working days. "RPDR-PKPP appreciates the farmers’ patience and understanding in cooperating with the earnest money refund procedures," it said.The Save Musang King Alliance have launched a"reimbursement campaign" to demand a refund of payments made to purchase the so-called entry permits.
The group said this was because the company used the final notice issued by the Land Office to threaten the planters, saying that only those who purchased the entry permit would be allowed to enter their durian farms after Aug 24.
