  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has directed Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) to conduct an investigation into the management and governance of UiTM Holdings following concerns over its reported financial losses. These losses, estimated at RM157 million across the years 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021, have raised questions about the company's management. Anwar stated that the inquiry should be carried out in collaboration with UiTM's deputy chancellor and the Prime Minister's department, offering support if needed. He urged the Ministry of Higher Education and UiTM's alumni association to examine the company's management, emphasizing that the first step is to investigate rather than penalize. Anwar also mentioned that the issue will be studied now to identify weaknesses and improve management. The Prime Minister, who is also the Finance Minister, reiterated that the government delayed the release of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on the Tabung Haji (TH) Fund due to the need for the institution to recover and avoid panic. The decision was made after considering the opinions of TH's chairman and board members, aiming to give the institution time to improve its financial situation before taking any action.",
