PETALING JAYA: A ministerial briefing on the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) findings into Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) will be among the key agenda items at the Dewan Rakyat’s special meeting on Aug 11.
According to a notice dated July 30 issued by Dewan Rakyat secretary Dr Nizam Mydin Bacha Mydin, the House’s order of business for the special meeting entails a Ministerial Statement under Standing Order 14(1)(i) on the RCI report, as well as measures taken to restore TH’s financial position.
“The Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat has also granted permission for Honourable Members to seek clarification and express their views on the Ministerial Statement referred to in paragraph 4,” the notice stated.
The special meeting will begin at 10am.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim confirmed the special meeting on Thursday.
The RCI report, released on Wednesday, recommended a forensic audit into past investment decisions made by TH, following findings that certain investments had contributed to a severe deterioration in the institution’s asset value and financial position.
The RCI findings, which examined TH’s management and operations between 2014 and 2020, identified several investments requiring further forensic scrutiny, while also uncovering evidence of suspicious transactions and concealed information.
Meanwhile, a special task force has been set up to review the RCI’s findings and examine possible offences, including corruption, criminal breach of trust, document forgery, abuse of power and money laundering.
