  "account": "Former chief auditor Madinah Mohamad has disputed her own claims that she was never summoned to testify during the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) investigating Tabung Haji (TH). Rashid Hussain, now TH's chairman, clarified that the commission did issue a subpoena to Madinah, but she requested to attend proceedings alongside Mona Othman, a deputy director in the financial audit division. The RCI denied her request, stating that they examine witnesses individually. Consequently, Madinah testified separately and also submitted written answers to 75 questions from the commission, which were later presented as a statutory declaration.",
  "summary": "Rashid Hussain denies that Madinah Mohamad was never summoned to testify before the RCI, saying she wanted to appear with another officer.",
