PM: No political, racial or religious shield for those found guilty in TH, Felda probes

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has pledged that investigations into government-linked entities Tabung Haji and Felda will be conducted swiftly, transparently, and with firm action against those found responsible, irrespective of their political background or personal attributes. He emphasized that the government will not permit race or religion to serve as a barrier to scrutiny, stating that problems within these organizations must be addressed based on their merits.

Anwar underscored that the investigations into these institutions should not be construed as racial or religious matters. He expressed apprehension regarding some Muslim leaders' attempts to frame the scrutiny of Tabung Haji as an attack solely due to its Islamic identity. He affirmed that, regardless of the entity's religious or racial affiliation, if problems are identified, action will be taken.

The Prime Minister reiterated the government's commitment to ensure that public institutions entrusted with significant responsibilities are managed properly, and any wrongdoing is dealt with impartially. This statement follows ongoing investigations stemming from the Royal Commission of Inquiry report on Tabung Haji and increased scrutiny of Felda matters.

Anwar has consistently maintained that these investigations are not politically motivated and will not interfere in the proceedings of the relevant enforcement agencies or the Attorney-General.
