Former Tabung Haji CEO, Datuk Seri Johan Abdullah, was remanded for seven days by Magistrate Ezrene Zakariah at the Putrajaya Magistrates' Court on August 21, 2026. This decision came as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) continued its investigation into alleged corruption, abuse of power, document forgery, and money laundering linked to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on the pilgrimage fund's operations between 2014 and 2020.
The 211-page RCI report, released on July 29, 2026, prompted MACC to intensify its probe, forming a special investigation team to scrutinise TH's investments, agreement documentation, contracts, meeting minutes, and other records. Seven individuals, including four former senior TH management officials, have been detained to assist the investigation.
The RCI identified 14 TH investments that require forensic audits, and MACC is considering engaging overseas forensic experts to assist in examining relevant documents and agreements.
