The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has greenlit proceedings to examine management deficiencies at Tabung Haji, the government-linked savings scheme for Muslim pilgrims performing the hajj. PAC chairperson Mas Ermieyati announced the decision to commence formal investigations into the fund's operational and administrative shortcomings. The committee's examination will prioritize assessing the actual status and progress of recommendations stemming from a royal commission of inquiry into the fund's affairs. Tabung Haji has faced sustained scrutiny over financial management issues and governance lapses in recent years. The PAC's investigation is expected to provide detailed oversight of remedial measures being implemented to address systemic weaknesses identified during the royal commission proceedings. The committee will monitor whether proposed reforms have been effectively executed and assess their adequacy in preventing future misconduct.
