Ex-auditor-general disputes account in Tabung Haji RCI proceedings

The former auditor-general disputed accounts of her participation in recent Tabung Haji Royal Commission of Inquiry proceedings, clarifying the circumstances surrounding her appearance before the panel.

Madinah, who was subpoenaed to testify, refuted suggestions that she had requested to enter the proceedings room alongside a department officer. Her statement contradicts earlier assertions about the conditions under which she attended the inquiry.

The Tabung Haji RCI was established to investigate concerns related to the pilgrimage fund's operations and management. The inquiry has heard testimony from various officials and former office-holders involved in the organisation's administration.

The dispute over procedural details highlights ongoing questions about the conduct of the inquiry and the participation of key witnesses. As the proceedings continue, questions remain about the full extent of the matters under investigation and their implications for the fund's governance.
