Massive increase for haj quota


RIYADH: The Saudi Arabian government has agreed to give Malaysia an additional 10,000 pilgrims for its haj quota, says Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

He said he made the request during his audience with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, who is also the kingdom’s Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister, at the Al-Yamamah Palace here on Tuesday.

“When the haj situation returns to normal after the Covid-19 pandemic, we will get the additional quota for our pilgrims, ” he told Malaysian media at the end of his four-day official visit to the kingdom.
