Dr Jeya pointed out several key points. It was discussed regarding the sale and acquisition of land in Malaysia, particularly in Perak, and its impact on farmers and food security. The Taman Sentosa land in Perak was initially sold by the Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Perak (PKNP) to Matang Sands, which was subsequently sold to KM Majubina. The current status of the land remains uncertain due to equity issues. Although the land was initially valued at 15 million, it was sold for 4.8 million. The involvement of Mentari Besar and PSM in the sale raises questions about the transaction's legitimacy.

Tee Yam Holding Sdn Bhd, a developer from Kuala Lumpur, obtained land in Pusing in 2017, which resulted in the displacement of 20 farmers. The decision to award valuable Perak land worth 25 million to an out-of-state developer raises concerns about the government's priorities and impact on the local economy. The farmers who play a crucial role in food production for the community were displaced, jeopardising food security and losing agricultural skills. Fourteen other areas in Perak also experienced similar incidents of farmers being forced off their land.

The implications of displacing farmers extend beyond the loss of generational knowledge and skills. The local economy suffers as workers are forced to seek employment elsewhere, leading to declining economic activity within the affected communities. Food security becomes a significant concern if the acquired land is used for non-agricultural purposes, jeopardising the nation's ability to produce sufficient food. Supporting and preserving experienced farmers and their farms is emphasised, calling for permanent farming areas and subsidies for vegetable farmers.

The decision-making process regarding land use in Malaysia was questioned during the talk. The issue of securing food security amidst geopolitical uncertainties was highlighted. Elitist politics, where politicians seek business funding, further complicate the situation. The speaker urged Malaysians to voice their concerns and refrain from supporting businesses that neglect the interests of farmers. The country's need for a transparent and accountable law system was emphasised. It was suggested that a board with the power to veto decisions made by the state government could ensure more transparency and fairness in land allocation.

In conclusion, the talk highlighted the concerning trend of land acquisition in Perak, which negatively impacts farmers, local economies, and food security. The focus was on the need for better land management policies to protect the interests of farmers and ensure sustainable food production. The importance of public awareness and participation in shaping these policies and the need for legal reforms to promote transparency and accountability in land allocation processes were emphasised. Ultimately, the issue at hand is not just about the plight of individual farmers but about safeguarding food production and security for the nation as a whole.
