  "account": "The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will convene tomorrow to deliberate on deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's proposal to establish a special body for investigating the management of Tabung Haji (TH), according to PAC chairperson Mas Ermieyati Samsudin. The proposal will be discussed after proceedings in Parliament that day, Samsudin told FMT. PAC chairperson Mas Ermieyati Samsudin plans to seek the opinions of all committee members on the proposal during the meeting. Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi suggested that the PAC would be more appropriate for a follow-up investigation into TH's management than setting up a new royal commission of inquiry (RCI), as the findings of the RCI did not directly implicate any individual.",
  "summary": "This comes after the deputy prime minister says the PAC would be more suitable to conduct a follow-up investigation into TH’s management than a new RCI.",
