Minister Zulkifli Hasan said the planned follow-up actions are critical to maintaining the confidence of Tabung Haji's vast depositor base and preserving the sanctity of Muslim community savings.
The minister's commitment comes after he appeared before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to provide testimony related to the inquiry into Tabung Haji's financial management and governance issues.
Zulkifli emphasized that protecting the interests of millions of Malaysians who have entrusted their funds with the Islamic pilgrimage savings scheme remains a top priority for his ministry. The additional measures are intended to strengthen oversight and restore public confidence in the institution.
The PAC inquiry forms part of broader efforts to investigate matters surrounding Tabung Haji's operations and address concerns raised by depositors and lawmakers. The committee's examination is expected to inform recommendations for systemic improvements and accountability mechanisms.
