KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — Despite the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report highlighting TH's management concerns, depositors' confidence in the institution remains strong. For many Malaysians, TH is a crucial institution that helps them fulfill their religious and spiritual obligations related to performing haj. Tailor Atiqah Shah Hadi, 40, has maintained a TH account for decades and is confident in the institution's ability to facilitate her haj pilgrimage in 2033.
Civil servant Muhammad Haikal Abdul Halim, 35, plans to set up monthly salary deductions into his TH account, aiming to perform haj in 2032. He also intends to open TH savings accounts for his three young children. Dr Saizal Pinjaman, director of the Centre for Economic Development and Policy at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, emphasized that TH must prioritize safeguarding depositors' savings and strengthening its long-term financial capabilities.
Dr Noor Nirwandy Mat Noordin, a senior lecturer at Universiti Teknologi MARA, expressed confidence that TH will continue to effectively discharge its mandate to Muslims in the country.
