Anwar Calls for Tabung Haji Scrutiny Across Administrations

Anwar says scrutiny of Tabung Haji should include the current administration, but the remarks do not establish a newly constituted inquiry.

Petaling Jaya, 16 September 2026 – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called for scrutiny of Tabung Haji’s management to extend beyond earlier administrations and include the period under the current government. His remarks place institutional accountability at the centre of a debate over how Malaysia’s pilgrimage savings institution should be assessed across changing political leadership.

Anwar said examination should include the years from 2021 to 2024, including his own period as prime minister. A previous Royal Commission of Inquiry covered 2014 to 2020, and its report was declassified earlier this year.
