  "summary": "The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) plans to charge a former minister on Monday in connection with the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the Tabung Haji (TH). The MACC chief commissioner, Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman, announced that the former minister will face three charges under Section 403 of the Penal Code for dishonest misappropriation of property. This is part of the ongoing probe into the TH RCI, which has so far charged five individuals, including a former deputy general manager of construction, a former security and health manager at TH Properties Sdn Bhd, a former TH chairman, Alam Maritim Sdn Bhd’s CEO, and a former TH chief operating officer. Six investigation papers have been completed, with two leading to charges, while the remaining eight are ongoing, involving foreign entities in Saudi Arabia and Singapore. The MACC has recommended three charges, including the one to be filed on Monday, with the rest still in progress.",
