  "summary": "Former Minister Remanded Over Tabung Haji Saudi Hotel Issue: A former minister in his 60s appeared at the Magistrate’s Court in Putrajaya on September 2 for remand proceedings related to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) Report on Tabung Haji (TH). He was arrested at the MACC headquarters on September 1, where he was recorded making a statement, reportedly connected to investigations into a hotel lease issue involving TH in Saudi Arabia.
