Kemas kini status syor RCI untuk TH, badan pemikir gesa kerajaan

A leading think tank has called for the Malaysian government to disclose the progress of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the Tabung Haji (TH) management and operations from 2014 to 2020, in order to boost public confidence. The Ideas Institute asserts that the government must not only publish the inquiry report but also implement the recommendations put forth.

Ideas argues this response to comments made by Religious Affairs Minister Zulkifli Hasan on July 30, when he stated that the government has completed approximately 75% of the 25 RCI recommendations. The minister further clarified that the remaining overdue recommendations will be expedited, including curbing the authority of the Religious Affairs Minister in TH management.

The RCI report, comprising 252 pages, was classified and made public on Wednesday following a July 2022 request from the commission. The inquiry uncovered that TH concealed its actual financial position for years, recording a profit of RM3.4 billion in 2017 while it should have reported a net loss of RM1.4 billion according to proper accounting standards, resulting in a shortfall of nearly RM4.8 billion.
