What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Tabung Haji has implemented more than 75 per cent of the 25 recommendations from the Royal Commission of Inquiry into its operations, resulting in a profit distribution rate of 3.50 per cent for the 2025 financial year, which is the highest in eight years. Separately, the Royal Commission of Inquiry was appointed to examine allegations of misappropriation concerning Tabung Haji's assets, including alleged involvement of Jho Low. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has faced parliamentary questioning regarding the fund's mismanagement while the investigation proceeds.
