Rayer accuses Umno of political 'charade' over Tabung Haji RCI
KUALA LUMPUR: Jelutong member of parliament RSN Rayer has accused Umno of staging a political spectacle to shield those responsible for the alleged financial misconduct at Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH).
Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim, the PKR Youth chief, has warned against treating a new Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji as a political tool to secure favorable outcomes for any party. In response to demands for a fresh investigation by Perikatan Nasional (PN) and UMNO, Kamil emphasized that the RCI was created to uncover the truth based on facts, documents and evidence, not to produce conclusions that align with the political interests of any specific party.
He questioned the motivations behind the calls for a new RCI, asking if it was merely because the previous findings did not fit their political narrative. Kamil also criticized parties that reject the RCI report without presenting evidence, factual discrepancies or explanations of errors in the investigation process, stating that mature democracies address such issues openly rather than demanding a new inquiry.
He urged all parties to refrain from using Tabung Haji as a political tool to protect particular individuals or groups, stressing that the institution safeguards the savings of millions of depositors.
