Former minister’s remand extended two days in Tabung Haji RCI hotel‑lease probe

The remand of a former minister in connection with a Tabung Haji (TH) hotel‑lease investigation in Saudi Arabia has been extended by two days, according to a report by Malay Mail on September 6. The extension was issued by Magistrate Muhammad Bukhori Md Ruslan Zakariah, running until Tuesday, following a request from the Malaysian Anti‑Corruption Commission (MACC) at the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court.

The case, under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009, involves the RCI report released on July 29, which highlighted weaknesses in TH’s management and operations from 2014 to 2020, as well as problematic investments that required forensic audit and suspicious transactions.
