Tabung Haji: It’s not a bailout


Serious business: Johan showing the police report he lodged at the Dang Wangi police station in Kuala Lumpur.

KUALA LUMPUR: Lembaga Tabung Haji has denied that its move to acquire a parcel of land in the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) financial district for RM188.5mil is a bailout of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), which owns the land.

Instead, the fund’s group managing director and CEO Datuk Johan Abdullah said it was a sound investment. He said they wanted a “piece of the action in the development”.
