Former minister Jamil Khir to face three charges over Tabung Haji probe tomorrow

Former Minister Jamil Khir Baharom faces three charges over Tabung Haji probe, set to appear in court tomorrow, according to Bernama. The charges, filed by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), stem from a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the management and operational weaknesses of Tabung Haji (TH) between 2014 and 2020.

The RCI report, released on July 29, identified several problematic investments requiring forensic audits and suspicious transactions. Jamil Khir was released on bail on September 8 after seven days of remand beginning September 2, following his detention at MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to provide a statement as part of the investigations.

The charges against him are under Section 403 of the Penal Code for dishonest misappropriation of property.
