A senior political figure has called on the government to make public all supporting documents from the Tabung Haji Royal Commission of Inquiry, citing the need for greater transparency in the investigative process.
Hilman's appeal centres on the principle that releasing the RCI's underlying materials would enable citizens to assess the commission's findings independently rather than relying solely on official summaries.
The call reflects broader concerns about public accountability in high-profile investigations affecting national institutions. Tabung Haji, the state-owned pilgrimage fund, has faced scrutiny over its financial management and governance practices.
Proponents of document disclosure argue that transparency strengthens institutional credibility and demonstrates commitment to open governance. Such releases would allow researchers, civil society organisations, and concerned citizens to verify evidence and conclusions presented in the RCI's formal report.
The push for transparency comes as government bodies increasingly face pressure to justify investigative processes affecting major public entities and stakeholder interests across the region.
