  "account": "Yesterday, a Pan Malaysian Party (PN) MP from PAS and Wawasan walked out of the Dewan Rakyat and refused to continue the discussion on the RCI Tabung Haji report after Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim did not attend the special session. Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil praised a Bersatu MP for fulfilling their responsibility by attending and presenting the RCI Tabung Haji report during the special Dewan Rakyat session yesterday. He described it as a wise and appropriate decision, unlike some other opposition parties within Perikatan Nasional (PN), including PAS and Wawasan. \"At least the Bersatu MP carried out their duties yesterday in the special Dewan Rakyat session to discuss the RCI Tabung Haji report,\" he said after the Malaysian 2026 National Day and Malaysia Day Contribution Funds Meeting in the Communication Ministry. Yesterday, a PN MP from PAS and Wawasan left the Dewan Rakyat and refused to continue the discussion on the RCI Tabung Haji report after Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim did not attend the special session. Fahmi reminded the RCI that it was established in 2021 when PAS and the current leader of the opposition were in the Cabinet, while their report was prepared in 2022 when they were still in the government. He also noted that the portfolio of religious affairs was handled by a minister from PAS at that time. Regarding calls from some Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) MPs for a new RCI to investigate TH for the period of 2021 to 2025, Fahmi said that decision should first be made by the Cabinet before getting the approval of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. \"There are two decisions that need to be made. First, at the Cabinet level, whether to continue or develop the investigation. Since it is a RCI, the decision also needs the approval of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong,\" he said. Yesterday, some BN and PH MPs in the Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) suggested that a new RCI be established for the period of 2021 to 2025 because the previous investigation only covered 2014 to 2020. They believed that a new investigation was needed to examine the management of TH and identify those responsible for the financial and administrative problems of the institution. Fahmi said the government has now handed over the report of the RCI Tabung Haji to the authorities for further investigation based on the information contained in the report. According to him, this investigation can also take into account additional information provided by Deputy Finance Minister Amir Hamzah Azizan and the Minister of the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Zulkifli Has.",
