I am wondering which authorities approved this scheme? Looks like the SC has not said a word on this scheme. So far only CCM is the only authority approved this scheme, so I not sure if CCM got the relevant resources as compare to the SC to understand what type of investment scheme they approved?
The scheme is more or less worded as 'contract farming' so it does not really involve SCC and BI. However being a 'contract farming' the investor have absolutely no rights on the assets. It is not illegal, but investors get zilch protection.Example MR A owns the land. Mr B gives money to Mr A 'farm' the land with agreed splitting of profits ie 50:50. Mr A used the money to farm but ultimately crop failed, so no returns. Mr A gives back Mr B whatever left of the money and have no further rights, but Mr A still owns the land.
IMHO, I wonder why most people who wants a piece of the oil palm action, don't just invest in big listed plantation companies. They have more security, land not over priced (most of the land book value have not been revised since 80's), expert planters and you get similar or more returns than these 'scheme'.
