Shah Alam lawmaker Khalid Samad has expressed sympathy over his brother Shahrir Samad's plight as the chairperson of Federal Land Development Authority (Felda).

Khalid said that his brother has a "good image" and believes that he is being used to cover up wrongdoings in Felda.

Felda is currently embroiled in a scandal which saw its plots of land worth up to RM1 billion being transferred through "dubious means" in 2015.
