Sharp, essential news and analysis from Malaysia.
A senior Umno politician has pushed back against criticism of Barisan Nasional and his party regarding difficulties at Tabung Haji, the Islamic pilgrimage savings fund, as the institution faces mounting pressure.
Former Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa has claimed vindication from the Tabung Haji Royal Commission of Inquiry report, stating it refutes allegations levelled against him during his ministerial service.
Tabung Haji is systematically executing recommendations from a Royal Commission of Inquiry, with the fund having completed three-quarters of required reforms. The declassification of the report reflects the government's transparency commitment.
