00:00PKR's Hasan Karim has called on the Police, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, and Bank Negara Malaysia to investigate possible criminal
00:09offences arising from Tabung Haji's Royal Commission of Inquiry report.
00:14The Pasir Gudang MP listed possible offences including financial deception, falsifying accounting records, fraud, cheating, unlawful hibah payments, and criminal
00:25breach of trust.
00:26Hasan, a lawyer, said any evidence of wrongdoing should be referred to the Attorney General's chambers to decide whether those
00:35responsible should face prosecution.
00:37For Hasan, there was no point publishing the RCI report if it ended without legal action.
00:43He cited Tabung Haji's 2017 financial position, saying the fund reported a RM3.4 billion profit when it should allegedly
00:53have recorded a RM1.4 billion net loss.
00:57The RM4.8 billion discrepancy, he said, raised questions over whether Tabung Haji's true financial position had been concealed.
01:06Hasan also questioned the hibah distribution that year, citing Section 22 sub 3 of the Tabung Haji Act 1995, which
01:15prohibits profit distributions when the fund's assets are lower than its liabilities.
01:21He stressed that he was not accusing anyone of wrongdoing and that any person charged would have the right to
01:28defend themselves.
01:29Hasan said the matter was of public interest as it involved the savings of Muslims who placed their money with
01:36Tabung Haji, Fohajj, and Umrah.
01:38The RCI, established in 2021, examined TH's management operations and asset issues between 2014 and 2020, with its report completed
01:50in July 2022.
