  "account": "Presiden PAS, Hadi Awang, has raised concerns that scandal issues are frequently used as a political tool to undermine opponents in Malaysia. During a recent address at the PAS 72nd convention, Hadi highlighted the importance of integrity politics, upholding the rule of law, ensuring justice, and rejecting any interference in governance. Unfortunately, the reality in Malaysia is that scandal issues are often used as a political weapon against rivals, rather than as a necessary deterrent. This issue arises when actions are selectively taken against opponents while allowing misconduct among one's own members, whether involving the receipt, giving, or mediating of scandals. Hadi emphasized that while he does not deny issues with the management of government funds and listed companies (GLCs), these matters should be taken to court rather than discussed in the media or used as election campaign material. Hadi acknowledged that instances of misconduct in GLC management and corruption do occur but should be addressed through legal channels rather than being sensationalized in the media or during election campaigns. The statement also expressed concern over the current political situation in Malaysia, particularly with the governing coalition Pakatan Harapan (PH), which is dominated by non-Muslims and poses a threat to Islamic values and the maqasid al-shariah. The recent report by the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the management and operations of Tabung Haji (TH) has renewed public interest, revealing numerous shortcomings in governance, including political interference in management and distribution of profits without considering the impact on the declining value and risk of investment.",
