PKR Youth chief accuses Umno counterpart of shifting RCI stance

Danish Hairudin from PKR Youth said on Tuesday that Akmal Amarullah appears to be questioning the RCI's conclusions after initially supporting the inquiry, suggesting the shift reflects political calculation rather than principle.

Hairudin contended that the Umno Youth chief's recent criticism of the RCI report indicates the findings do not align with Umno's preferred narrative, prompting him to distance himself from the investigation's outcomes.

The Tabung Haji RCI, which investigated governance and management issues at the Islamic pilgrimage fund, has been a focal point of political discussion across Malaysia's major parties. The inquiry's findings have drawn varying responses from different political factions.

The exchange underscores ongoing tensions between PKR and Umno as both parties position themselves ahead of potential political developments. PKR Youth's assertion that Akmal is moving the goalpost suggests the party views his stance as inconsistent with earlier positions on the RCI process.

Neither Akmal Amarullah nor Umno Youth have immediately responded to the allegations as of publication time.
