A former chief executive of Lembaga Tabung Haji arrived at the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court at 9.35am wearing the orange MACC remand shirt for a remand hearing tied to the Royal Commission of Inquiry report into the pilgrims’ fund.
Market Impact
The man in his 60s faced court on Thursday after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission set up a special team on July 30 to examine the RCI report for possible corruption, misappropriation, document forgery, abuse of power or money-laundering offences.
The RCI report, published on the Jakim portal on July 29, recommended a forensic audit of past investment decisions that left Tabung Haji with severe asset impairments and listed specific transactions flagged as suspicious.
The commission told Bernama it would review evidence of concealment and alleged wrongdoing between 2014 and 2020.
Prosecutors asked for a remand order and the court scheduled the next hearing for Friday. No charges have been filed.
