No room to hide for those who undermined Tabung Haji, says PKR Youth
PKR Youth vice-chief Dr Taufiq Johari calls for the authorities to track down the irresponsible parties 'to the ends of the earth'.
A royal inquiry into the management of Tabung Haji, the Malaysian pilgrims' fund, has revealed that politicians played a role in senior positions and influenced key decisions based on political considerations. PKR Youth leader Dr Taufiq Johari condemned those responsible for undermining the fund, stating that their political positions and influence can no longer shield them from scrutiny, regardless of their party allegiance.
The royal commission's report highlighted weaknesses in governance, political interference, and irregularities in hibah distributions, which resulted in a reported profit of RM3.4 billion in the fund's 2017 financial report, but a net loss of RM1.4 billion after adjustments. Taufiq called for a thorough investigation led by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, focusing on the distribution of funds and prosecuting those responsible.
He emphasized that the betrayal of the Muslim community's trust by those who undermined Tabung Haji cannot be hidden behind political affiliations.
