Question

Accepted Answer

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob Was Prime Minister When the RCI Report Was Submitted to the YDPA

The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report concerning Lembaga Tabung Haji was presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) on August 30, 2022, during the premiership of Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. This submission occurred nearly three months prior to the 15th General Election held in November 2022.
RCI Report Submission Timeline

The RCI process itself spanned the administrations of three prime ministers. The Cabinet decided on the necessity of an RCI on August 14, 2020, under Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. Subsequent decisions regarding the RCI's establishment and scope were made in July and October 2021, respectively. The RCI chair and its members were appointed on January 20, 2022. The final report, dated July 19, 2022, was then formally presented to the YDPA on August 30, 2022.
Government Declassification and Release

The Malaysian government subsequently declassified and released the RCI report on July 29 of the current year. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that the report was not released earlier to prevent potential panic among depositors, which could have led to withdrawals from Tabung Haji.
Parliamentary Session and Opposition Response

The submission of the RCI report to the YDPA on August 30, 2022, preceded the Fourth Meeting of the Fourteenth Parliament, which convened from October 3 to 7, 2022. During a special sitting of the Dewan Rakyat on August 11, 2026, concerning the RCI report, some opposition lawmakers staged a walkout. This action was noted as a division within the opposition, with Bersatu MPs choosing to remain and participate in the debate.
