PN walkout over Tabung Haji debate a political misstep, says analyst

The opposition party PERIKATAN Nasional (PN) walked out of a special Dewan Rakyat sitting to discuss the Tabung Haji (TH) Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report, a move that has been criticized as a political misstep by political analyst Dr Azmi Hassan. Despite the absence of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who was recovering from surgery, other senior government representatives were present to address MPs' questions.
Dr Azmi argued that the PN's decision to leave the session, which could have allowed them to present their arguments, ultimately harmed the opposition's position. The special sitting was convened to declassify and discuss the TH RCI report, which examined governance and financial issues related to the pilgrimage fund.
