PETALING JAYA: The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) will examine the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Lembaga Tabung Haji to determine whether there are violations of the law that require prosecution.
The AGC said it viewed seriously the findings in the RCI report, including those related to management, investments and allegations of misconduct.
“The AGC will take immediate action to examine the report to ensure all aspects of investigations by enforcement agencies can be carried out thoroughly and comprehensively.
“This is to allow appropriate consideration to be made to determine whether there are any breaches of the law that require prosecution,” it said in a statement Thursday (July 30).
The AGC said its actions were in line with its constitutional responsibility to ensure investigations were carried out according to the law and available evidence.
It also gave its assurance that any decision on prosecution, if necessary, would be made based on the law and admissible evidence, without being influenced by external pressure or public sentiment.
The AGC welcomed the Cabinet’s decision to declassify and release to the public the RCI report on the management and operations of Tabung Haji from 2014 to 2020.
It also advised the public not to speculate, make assumptions or spread unverified information that could affect investigations.
This, it said, was necessary to preserve the integrity of the investigation process and maintain confidence in the credibility and continuity of Tabung Haji in carrying out its role under the Tabung Haji Act 1995.
