Record RM4.64b income, highest payout in eight years: Zulkifli Hasan says Tabung Haji’s governance now stronger

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — The performance of Tabung Haji (TH) has seen a significant boost following the transformation and strengthening of its governance processes, according to Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Dr Zulkifli Hasan. This improvement is evident in the institution's record investment income this year, marking the highest profit in its history, he added.

"Last year, we recorded the highest profit in TH's history, which showcases the success of both new and existing investments," said Dr Zulkifli during an oral question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. He was addressing Datuk Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh (PN-Besut) who queried the Prime Minister about the government's plan to diversify TH's new investment portfolio and reinforce its risk management framework for the institution's long-term sustainability.

Dr Zulkifli stated that TH employs a structured investment process that considers investment, risk, and Shariah aspects before making any investment decisions. "TH operates under a prudent, Shariah-compliant investment strategy guided by the strategic asset allocation (SAA) framework to ensure a balanced and appropriately diversified investment portfolio across various asset classes, sectors, and markets," he explained.

"The SAA is reviewed every three years to align TH's investment strategy and risk management with the current dynamics of the economic environment and capital markets." For the 2025 financial year, TH's investment income reached RM4.64 billion, the highest level ever recorded. The institution's total assets stood at RM98.58 billion compared to liabilities of RM95.63 billion.

Additionally, the profit distribution rate has steadily increased from 1.25% in 2018 to 3.50% in 2025, the highest in eight years.
