King wants government to resolve Tabung Haji issues first, then Felda

Malaysia's King, Sultan Ibrahim, has directed Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to first tackle the issues raised by the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Tabung Haji. Only after resolving these Tabung Haji matters should the government turn its attention to the long-standing problems plaguing the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda).

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim disclosed the King's directive during his closing remarks at the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) National Annual Congress. The King's emphasis on the Tabung Haji report signals a desire for accountability and resolution regarding past financial mismanagement or operational concerns within the pilgrimage fund.

Tabung Haji, which manages savings for Muslims undertaking the Hajj pilgrimage, has faced scrutiny in the past. The Royal Commission of Inquiry's findings are expected to outline specific problems and recommend solutions. The King's intervention underscores the importance of addressing these issues promptly to restore public confidence and ensure the fund's stability.
