Question

Accepted Answer

No specific digital surveillance methods were disclosed for haj and Badal haj package scams this season
No specific digital surveillance methods were publicly detailed for how haj and Badal haj package scams were monitored online. The Religious Affairs minister, Dr Zulkifli Hasan, said various agencies conducted digital surveillance on social media platforms, alongside physical monitoring at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), but he did not name the tools, platforms, or data-analysis techniques used.
Monitoring was described as digital surveillance on social media, without further technical detail
Dr Zulkifli stated that the integrated monitoring included “digital surveillance on social media platforms.” However, the information provided did not specify which social media platforms were targeted or what exact monitoring approach was used.
Physical monitoring at KLIA ran together with online checks
The minister linked the season’s outcome to close cooperation between Tabung Haji (TH) and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) with relevant authorities. He said physical monitoring was carried out at KLIA at the same time as digital surveillance online.
The reported outcome was “zero” scammer cases, but methods were not enumerated
Dr Zulkifli said no fraud cases were received, including Badal haj scams, and described this as evidence of the effectiveness of the measures. Despite this outcome, the disclosed description of the digital component remained general and did not break down specific methods.
The season’s timeframe was 1447H/2026M, ending with the final flight
The statement covered the 1447H/2026M haj season and said no scams were recorded throughout it. The minister spoke after welcoming the final flight of haj pilgrims to KLIA, with the final arrival involving 258 pilgrims on Malaysia Airlines flight MH 8385 arriving at 12.10 pm.
