  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has emphasized that action against corruption and poor management in the Tabung Haji (TH) is not due to the institution representing Islam, but rather to rectify any misconceptions identified. The statement, made at a joint management and Felda leadership program, comes after PAS President Hadi Awang alleged that TH has become a target due to its Islamic association. While Hadi reportedly claimed that malpractice and negligence occur within the Islamic financial institution, Anwar pointed out that grievances in other institutions are not receiving equal attention. He stressed that Malaysians and Muslims should demonstrate greater firmness in ensuring that institutions upholding the image of Islam are managed properly, emphasizing the need to set an example in governance, morality, and values. Anwar also referred to the Felda crisis, highlighting how the government cannot allow management shortcomings solely because they are associated with a community closely linked to Malays. The Prime Minister announced the Felda White Paper, which includes the establishment of specialized personnel teams and recovery committees to prevent similar issues from recurring. The aim is to ensure the agency's role and avoid repetition of past mistakes, countering accusations that exposing malpractice could tarnish the image of Islamic institutions. Anwar advised that the approach should focus on clearing misconceptions and showing readiness to address them, stating that Malaysians should be an example and clean up any issues that arise, rather than allowing malice to prevail.",
