Former Tabung Haji chairman Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim appeared in the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday for a remand hearing related to a police investigation tied to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on the pilgrim fund. The arrest of the 60-year-old former chairman, who served from 2014 to 2018, was made by the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) in Bukit Aman yesterday afternoon.
His lawyer, Datuk Abu Bakar Isa Ramat, confirmed that the police will seek a remand order under Section 420 of the Penal Code. The RCI report, released on July 29, highlighted management issues within Tabung Haji between 2014 and 2020, leading to Abdul Azeez's previous remand by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for seven days.
