Tabung Haji RCI Findings Triggered MACC Investigation into Abuse of Power Allegations

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) initiated its investigation into alleged abuse of power concerning a RM370 million share acquisition following a review of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji. This review by a special task force uncovered information that prompted the arrests of the former CEO and CFO of a statutory body-owned company.
Review of RCI Report Led to Specific Suspicions

A special task force was established to examine the findings of the RCI report on Tabung Haji, which was publicly released on July 29. It was through the detailed review of this report that the task force identified elements warranting further investigation into potential abuse of power. This process directly connected the broader findings of the RCI to the specific transaction involving the acquisition of shares in two plantation companies.
Abuse of Power in RM370 Million Share Acquisition

The investigation centres on the alleged abuse of power by the former CEO and CFO of a company owned by a statutory body. Specifically, the suspicion relates to their actions during the acquisition of shares in two plantation companies, a transaction valued at RM370 million. The MACC has confirmed these arrests and is proceeding with the investigation under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009.
