Former Tabung Haji chairman Abdul Azeez to be charged tomorrow over RCI-linked probe

Former Tabung Haji chairman Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim is set to be charged tomorrow at Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court, according to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009, reports Bernama. The former Baling MP and TH chairman, along with former Treasury secretary-general, have been remanded for seven days until Sept 2 to aid investigations following disclosures related to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on the institution.

The RCI report, published on July 29 by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), called for a forensic audit to examine past investment decision-making that caused a significant drop in the institution's asset value. The report also pointed out suspicious transactions and concealed information.
