Lawmakers call for new RCI into Tabung Haji management from 2021 to 2025
KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) lawmakers have called on the government to establish a new Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate the management and operations of Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH).
Dewan Rakyat lawmakers from both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan are urging the government to launch a new Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the management of Tabung Haji (TH) from 2021 to 2025. Mohd Isam Mohd Isa, a BN-Tampin MP and member of the PAC, requested that the inquiry's scope be extended beyond the existing 2014 to 2020 period to better assess issues that emerged after 2020.
Isam believes that important developments and shortcomings in TH's management and operations during this later period should not be overlooked. Meanwhile, PH-Jelutong MP RSN Rayer echoed similar concerns, calling for a comprehensive RCI to determine accountability for TH's financial and management problems. Isam, as a PAC member, further suggested that the Public Accounts Committee also scrutinize TH's governance issues from 2022 to 2026 to ensure that any weaknesses are identified and addressed.
