The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested a former chief executive and chief financial officer of Tabung Haji as part of an investigation into alleged misuse of authority in a RM370 million plantation acquisition.
PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh has demanded investigations and potential prosecution of those accountable for Tabung Haji losses and legal violations exposed in the Royal Commission of Inquiry report.
A Royal Commission of Inquiry has determined that Tabung Haji should not have distributed RM2.75 billion in profits in 2017, finding the hajj fund's generous payouts between 2014 and 2017 depleted reserves and triggered a financial crisis.
Malaysia's Royal Commission of Inquiry into Tabung Haji has recommended forensic audits of 14 past investments that triggered substantial asset write-downs at the Islamic pilgrimage fund, raising concerns about governance and financial stability.
Malaysia's parliament has passed the National Trust Fund (KWAN) Bill 2026 and Statistics Bill 2026, marking significant reforms to intergenerational financial governance and updating the country's statutory framework for data collection and statistical oversight.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has instructed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to fully investigate the Retirement Fund's investment in aquaculture technology company eFishery, pledging zero tolerance for any fraud or corruption despite preliminary findings suggesting none occurred.
