Focus on Tabung Haji instead of Taiwan, PKR man tells PAS

A youth wing leader says PAS should discuss the findings on the pilgrimage fund before lecturing Putrajaya on foreign policy.

Focus on Tabung Haji instead of Taiwan, PKR man tells PAS

PKR Youth leader Danish Hairudin has advised PAS to concentrate on Tabung Haji-related issues rather than engaging in discussions about the China-Taiwan conflict and foreign policy. Speaking via a Facebook post, Hairudin urged PAS to postpone debating Taiwan for now and instead focus on the royal commission of inquiry report on Tabung Haji.

He argued that the findings from the inquiry, which investigated political interference and considerations in the management of an institution important to Muslims, should be addressed first. The report revealed that decisions involving dividends, haj payments, and haj financial assistance were influenced by such interference, as well as several investments that resulted in total losses and RM22.12 million in funds belonging to Yayasan Tabung Haji.

Hairudin expressed concern over PAS's eagerness to lecture the government on foreign policy, noting that the organization should first debate matters closer to the interests of Muslims.
