Former A-G was subpoenaed, says Tabung Haji RCI member
Rashid Hussain denies that Madinah Mohamad was never summoned to testify before the RCI, saying she wanted to appear with another officer.
Former A-G Madinah Mohamad has disputed the claim that the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) never summoned her to testify. Rashid Hussain, current Tabung Haji chairman and a member of the RCI, clarified that the commission did indeed issue a subpoena to Madinah, but she requested to attend proceedings alongside then financial audit division deputy director Mona Othman.
However, the RCI rejected this request, explaining that they examine witnesses individually, not in groups. Despite this, Madinah did submit written answers to 75 questions posed by the RCI, which were later presented as a statutory declaration during the proceedings. The commission found that Tabung Haji had concealed its true financial position, reporting a RM3.4 billion profit in 2017 when it should have reported a net loss of RM1.4 billion.
