PN, Umno call for new RCI to investigate TH
KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional has called for a new Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to be established to reinvestigate Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH).
Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Umno have jointly called for a new Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate the Management and Development of Hajj Endowments Fund (TH). This comes after the previous RCI report on TH was allegedly manipulated to portray the agency as being embroiled in a major financial scandal. PN secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan claimed that certain factual errors were made during the Dewan Rakyat's winding-up session, and urged the government to establish a new RCI to investigate TH's position from 2018 to the present.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Wanita Umno chief Noraini Ahmad also supported the proposal, emphasizing the need to determine whether there was any misconduct or the sale of assets to interested parties.
