  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 — Minister Zulkifli Hasan, head of the Prime Minister's Department for Religious Affairs, is emphasizing the need for firm and thorough follow-up actions on the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report concerning Tabung Haji (TH). His focus came after testifying before the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC). Zulkifli explained that this was vital to maintain the trust of millions of TH depositors and uphold the integrity of Islamic assets. In a Facebook post, he underscored the importance of completing TH RCI report follow-up actions in a firm and comprehensive manner. He mentioned that he had thoroughly reviewed all necessary documents, including the Tabung Haji Act and the RCI report, prior to his appearance. Zulkifli described his initial meeting with the PAC as akin to a rigorous viva voce examination, where researchers defend their dissertations before a panel of assessors. Despite numerous questions posed by committee members, he remained composed and confident, attributing his performance to divine assistance.",
