  "account": "Former Tabuk Haji president and former Perbendaharaan chief have been released from the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) after the seven-day remand concluded on August 27. According to Harian Metro, citing sources, the two individuals were freed this morning after the seven-day remand period ended today. They were released after completing the SPRM investigator's fact-gathering process. Both former Datuk Seris and Tan Sri, in their 60s, were held under SPRM investigation under Section 23 of the SPRM Act for using their position to gain advantage. SPRM Chief Adviser Abd Halim Aman said the case was investigated under Section 23 of the SPRM Act due to the misuse of position for gain. Earlier, SPRM had detained the former TH executive chief for seven days to assist the investigation before he was released on August 27. He was among seven individuals detained by SPRM to help investigate the report, including four former senior management members of TH. The RCI was established to investigate the management, operations, and assets of the institution from 2014 to 2020. One of the main findings was that the true financial situation of TH was not disclosed, including losses from problematic investments that were not recorded and the use of \"creative accounting\" methods to allow annual profit distribution. The agency also found that TH's financial problems stemmed from political interference in the appointment of board members, non-transparent honoraria payments, and the audit department's failure to highlight audit findings due to confidence bias.",
