KUALA LUMPUR – A special parliamentary session on the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report regarding Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) continued despite protests from opposition lawmakers and calls for a postponement. The session took place as the prime minister was absent, leading to shouts of “sakau” (confusion) and “tangguh” (postpone) from some members (nst.com.my).

Opposition bloc members decided to leave the Dewan Rakyat and did not participate in the session, which focused on the minister’s explanation of the RCI findings on TH’s management and operations (kosmo.com.my). The session was marked by tension, with some lawmakers expressing frustration over the prime minister’s absence and the lack of clarity on the report’s implications.

Authorities confirmed that individuals linked to the RCI investigation were detained by the Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) (utusan.com.my). The developments highlight ongoing scrutiny of TH’s operations and the political tensions surrounding the RCI findings. The session is expected to continue with further discussions on the report’s recommendations.
