  "account": "Hajj Welfare Fund (TH) did not finance 40,000 mosque and non-mosque teachers under Perkeso, declared Prime Minister's Department Minister Zulkifli Hasan. The minister clarified that the entire 100% cost of the Perkeso scheme was borne by the government through a specific mechanism acting as the executor. He emphatically stated that allegations claiming TH utilized the Hajj savings are entirely false and speculative. The minister emphasized that the government remains committed to ensuring the integrity and transparency of TH's trust management, as well as maintaining clear corporate governance principles based on Shariah law. The minister affirmed that efforts to recognize the dedication of mosque leaders, bilal, tok siak, noja, marbut, and takmir teachers will continue unabated to preserve religious institutions and national development in Malaysia.",
