  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is set to file a remand application in the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court today, in connection with the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on the Tabung Haji (TH) pilgrimage fund, The Star reported. This comes in the wake of the establishment of a specialized MACC task force to investigate governance and management failures identified in the RCI report. The RCI report, made public on July 29 via the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) portal, delved into several high-level concerns regarding the TH's operations. Its findings have since spurred multiple investigations into the fund's past activities. The former CEO of TH is the latest prominent figure to face scrutiny from the commission. Earlier, the MACC apprehended seven other individuals, including a company CEO, two directors, and four former senior management staff from Tabung Haji, to aid in the investigations.",
