Minister Zulkifli Hasan reported that 80% of the 4.1 million Tabung Haji depositors registered for the Hajj have less than RM15,000 in savings. This minimum amount is required by December 31, 2028, to maintain their Hajj turn, which affects about 3.3 million depositors. The minimum requirement is the same as that for B40 pilgrims, against the actual Hajj cost of RM33,300.
