Rashid has contradicted assertions made by the former auditor-general regarding the handling of testimony in the ongoing Royal Commission of Inquiry into Tabung Haji's operations. The exchange highlights tensions within the investigative process as the commission continues its work examining the pilgrimage fund's management.
The former auditor-general had indicated that relevant testimony may have been sidelined during the inquiry proceedings. However, the RCI member's rebuttal suggests the commission has taken a comprehensive approach to gathering evidence from relevant parties.
The Tabung Haji RCI was established to investigate financial irregularities and governance issues at Malaysia's pilgrimage savings fund. The inquiry has examined various aspects of the fund's operations and has heard from numerous witnesses and officials involved in its management over the years.
The public dispute over the commission's methodology comes as investigations continue into how the fund's resources were deployed and managed. Both parties maintain their positions regarding the scope and completeness of the testimony collected during the inquiry process.
