  "account": "The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the Tabung Haji (TH) is nearing its final stage, with the prosecution decision expected soon, according to Bukit Aman. The investigation, conducted from 2016 to 2018, now focuses on gathering sufficient evidence for any potential legal action. Director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa emphasized that the police prioritize strong evidence in their investigations, and they aim to keep the process transparent and impartial. The RCI involves five individuals, including a former TH chairman, CEO, CFO, and a current TH employee. The police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) have distinct roles and jurisdictions in this high-profile case. The police will primarily focus on commercial crime offenses, such as cheating and criminal breach of trust, as outlined in Section 420 and Section 409 of the Penal Code, while the MACC will investigate potential corruption and abuse of power under the MACC Act 2009. Any cases outside the police's jurisdiction will be referred to the appropriate agency.",
