Don’t make govt action on TH a racial, religious issue, says Anwar
The prime minister says any mismanagement or wrongdoing that has been identified must be addressed.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim asserted that the government's actions to tackle the mismanagement and wrongdoing in Tabung Haji (TH) are not motivated by racial or religious considerations, but are driven by the need to address any institutional failures. Speaking at a program with Felda's senior management, Anwar stressed that similar measures are being taken with other agencies, including Felda, and that this should not be perceived as targeting any specific racial or religious group.
He warned that accusing the government of solely targeting Malay-Muslim agencies would be misguided. The Prime Minister's comments follow PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's claim that the TH issue was being exaggerated to tarnish the image of Malay-Muslims. However, Anwar highlighted the government's efforts to address the issues at Felda, stating that a white paper on the matter has been tabled and a special task force and committee have been established to prevent recurrence of past problems.
