PETALING JAYA: The total subsidy allocation for the haj in 2025 remains at RM261mil, but the payments to be borne by pilgrims had to be increased due to economic factors beyond the control of Tabung Haji (TH), says its chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Hussain.
The decision to increase the payments was in line with the policy of targeted subsidies based on data of four million depositors in its records, he said when asked for a response to criticism of the increased haj costs announced earlier.
