  "account": "PKR Youth information chief Danish Hairudin has criticized Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Akmal Saleh for changing his position on the Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI). Danish claims that Akmal, who was once a strong advocate for releasing the report, is now trying to \"move the goalposts.\" Danish questioned why everyone should follow Akmal and Umno's lead if they want the answer they desire. He pointed out that the inquiry was not established during Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's administration, and suggested that if Umno finds faults in the report, they should bring them up in Parliament. Danish emphasized that any new evidence should be investigated, regardless of who is associated with it, and urged Umno and Akmal not to ignore troubling aspects of the report, such as \"creative accounting,\" poor governance, and potential losses of up to 100 percent. Danish warned against repeating the mistakes made during the 1MDB scandal, where important issues were \"obscured and whitewashed.\" He reiterated that Tabung Haji belongs to millions of depositors, not political parties, and advised that if they want the truth, they should accept it fully instead of searching for an RCI until they find the outcome they prefer. Earlier, Akmal posted on social media supporting the idea of another RCI into TH's asset transfer to Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd (UJSB) during the first Pakatan Harapan administration, in response to PKR Youth chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim's query about the necessity for another inquiry, while also referencing PAS MP Hassan Abdul Karim's assertion: \"If we want to reveal it, we reveal everything, not just partially.\"",
