RCI Tabung Haji: What was said

Tabung Haji chairman Tan Sri Rashid Hussain has dismissed claims by former auditor-general Tan Sri Madinah Mohamad that she was not given an opportunity to testify before the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into Lembaga Tabung Haji. According to Nurhisham Hussein, a economic advisor at the Prime Minister's Office, the issues involving Tabung Haji and FGV Holdings Bhd seem to follow a similar pattern, with assets being bought without sufficient collateral, at inflated prices, and without proper research.

The process of amending the Tabung Haji Act 1995 has reached 90 per cent completion at the internal level of the Tabung Haji Board and is expected to be brought to the Cabinet soon. The amendment is one of the remaining main actions following the 25 recommendations submitted by the TH Royal Commission of Inquiry. So far, 19 out of 25 recommendations have been completed.

Datuk Adi Azuan Abdul Ghani, former Lembaga Tabung Haji chief operating officer, was not in court to face three charges under the Penal Code due to hospital admission for chest pain.
