PRIME Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says the Government will not send any more Muslims to perform the haj pilgrimage using “stolen money”.

“Some people will not be able to perform their haj because the Government won’t be paying for them with stolen money,” he said at a dinner with some 250 Malaysians based in Tokyo, Japan, last night.
