  "account": "PKR Youth's Danish Hairudin has rebuked Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Akmal Saleh for allegedly modifying his position on the Tabung Haji Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI). Danish claims Akmal, who was a vocal advocate for the report's release, is now attempting to alter the inquiry's focus. Danish questioned why everyone should follow Akmal and Umno's lead if the desired outcome is the answer Umno seeks. He pointed out the inquiry was initiated outside of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's administration. Danish suggested if Umno, being part of the unity government, identifies flaws in the report, it should address them in Parliament and investigate any new evidence \"irrespective of who is involved,\" ensuring no one is protected. Danish also urged Umno and Akmal not to overlook troubling findings from the report, including \"creative accounting,\" governance failures, and investment losses reaching up to 100%. Danish warned against mimicking tactics from the 1MDB scandal where critical issues were \"obscured and whitewashed.\" He emphasized that Tabung Haji belongs to millions of depositors, not specific political parties. Danish urged for transparency, stating, \"If you truly want the truth, accept the truth in its entirety. Do not keep searching for an RCI until you find the answer you like.\"",
