What warnings did Bank Negara issue to Tabung Haji prior to 2014?

Question

Accepted Answer

Bank Negara warned Tabung Haji about breaches before 2014, but the specific contents of those warnings were not disclosed.

Bank Negara Malaysia had sent a letter to Tabung Haji in 2014, through its Governor, highlighting breaches that were later described as having been ignored. The material available does not spell out the exact warnings, only that they related to compliance failures tied to Tabung Haji’s losses.
The warning was linked to regulatory breaches

Anwar said Tabung Haji lost RM10 billion because it did not comply with regulations and made poor investments. He said the problems had been happening since 2014, which is the same year Bank Negara’s warning was sent.
The warnings were ignored by the relevant parties

The prime minister said the Bank Negara letter was not acted on. He described the warnings as having been ignored, without giving further detail on who inside Tabung Haji received them or what internal response followed.
The losses were part of a wider inquiry covering 2014 to 2020

The Royal Commission of Inquiry report on Tabung Haji covers the period from 2014 to 2020 and was declassified and made public. It identified elements of misappropriation, fraud and abuse of power, which will be investigated by the police, the MACC and Bank Negara Malaysia.
The government says action will follow if evidence is found

Anwar said anyone found responsible for the losses will be brought to justice. He said that if evidence exists, those involved will be charged in court and can face prison if convicted.
