KPK Considers Rescheduling Owner of Maktour Hajj Agency After Second No-Show

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is contemplating rescheduling the examination of Fuad Hasan Masyhur, the owner of the hajj travel agency PT Makassar Toraja (Maktour). Fuad has twice failed to appear for questioning related to the alleged corruption of hajj quotas for the 2023-2024 period.

Will it be rescheduled again, considering he has not attended the rescheduled date twice, or will investigators issue a second summons. We will wait for developments.

KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that the commission will decide whether to schedule another examination or issue a second summons. He urged Fuad to be cooperative, emphasizing that his testimony is crucial for clarifying the bribery case involving former Religious Affairs Minister Yaqut Cholil Qoumas. "His presence and complete, truthful testimony would undoubtedly aid the ongoing legal process at the KPK," Budi said.

Fuad previously missed a summons on Monday, June 15, 2026, citing illness. He reportedly stated he was recovering from fatigue after performing the Hajj pilgrimage and would cooperate once his health improved. The KPK is seeking proof of his illness.

So that by being present and providing complete, correct information, it will essentially help the legal process that is ongoing at the KPK.

In connection with this case, the KPK has named new suspects and detained them: Ismail Adham, Maktour's operational director, and Asrul Azis Taba, commissioner of PT Raudah Eksati Utama and chairman of the Association of Hajj and Umrah Tour Travel Organizations of Indonesia (Kesthuri). Previously, Yaqut and his former special staff, Ishfah Abidal Aziz, were also named suspects.

However, my health has declined due to fatigue. If my health condition recovers, I am ready to fulfill the examination summons.

According to KPK Deputy of Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu, the case began when Ismail, Asrul, Fuad, and others met with then-Minister of Religious Affairs Yaqut Cholil Qoumas and his special staff. They allegedly requested additional special hajj quotas beyond the 8% limit. This additional quota, totaling 20,000 from Saudi Arabia for 2024, was reportedly divided between regular and special hajj quotas on a 50-50 basis. Ismail and Asrul then allegedly arranged the distribution of these special quotas to hajj and umrah companies affiliated with Maktour, in coordination with the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Investigators suspect Ismail offered bribes totaling $30,000 to Alex and an additional $5,000 and 16,000 Saudi Riyals to a director general at the ministry.

In the process, they divided the regular hajj quota and the special hajj quota with a 50 percent versus 50 percent scheme.
