Tabung Haji chairman Tan Sri Rashid Hussin has disputed former Auditor-General Tan Sri Dr Madinah Mohamad's assertion that she was not summoned to testify before the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI), stating that she was served with a subpoena. Rashid clarified that Madinah was formally subpoenaed to appear before the RCI, but requested to attend in person alongside Mona Othman, the former deputy director of the Financial Audit Division.

However, the RCI proceeded with individual examinations, and Mona appeared before the commission on June 2, 2022, delivering her testimony and submitting the full report. Rashid emphasized that the RCI followed an individual questioning approach, but Madinah was afforded ample opportunity to present her account through written responses to 75 questions, which were recorded as a witness statement.

The ongoing debate highlights the continuing scrutiny of the RCI's findings regarding Tabung Haji, leading to further investigations into the matters raised in the report.
