Former Malaysian minister Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom is set to be charged tomorrow in connection with the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on the Tabung Haji (TH). The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) confirmed this on September 10, stating that the charge involves a case linked to the RCI report on TH. After obtaining the Attorney-General's approval to prosecute, MACC recommended three charges under Section 403 of the Penal Code, which deals with dishonest misappropriation of property.
This offense carries a potential jail term of six months to five years, along with whipping and a fine. The former minister was previously detained by MACC and remanded for investigation, and he was released after assisting in the inquiry.
