PAC advised to form special body to investigate TH management 2018-2025 | Utusan Malaysia (MY) | 01M0VVJ102T4412SRRR5R7X6MK

Malaysia's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has been recommended to establish a special task force to investigate the management of Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), the country's Hajj pilgrims fund, for the period spanning 2018 to 2025. This significant recommendation emerged during an intellectual discourse focused on TH's operations.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi indicated that the proposal to form this investigative body was put forward informally by several Members of Parliament who participated in the recent discourse. The suggestion underscores concerns regarding TH's governance and financial stewardship during the specified years.

The proposed investigation by the PAC aims to bring transparency and accountability to TH's management. Lembaga Tabung Haji plays a crucial role in managing the savings of millions of Malaysian Muslims preparing for the Hajj pilgrimage, making its sound management a matter of public interest and trust. The period under scrutiny, 2018-2025, covers significant economic and political shifts in Malaysia, potentially impacting the fund's operations.
