KUALA LUMPUR – The Cabinet has agreed to declassify and release the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji (TH), following a briefing by the pilgrimage fund’s senior management.
Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said the Cabinet had also agreed for the report to be tabled and debated during a special sitting of the Dewan Rakyat, which will be held at a later date.
The report examines TH’s management between 2014 and 2020 and contains 25 recommendations aimed at strengthening the institution’s governance and operations.
“Cabinet today was briefed by the top management of Tabung Haji and deliberated on the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) investigation report on TH from 2014 to 2020.
“Cabinet agreed that this report will be declassified and made public today,” Fahmi said in a statement today.
Fahmi said the Cabinet also noted that TH’s management had successfully implemented 75% of the recommendations outlined in the report.
However, he stressed that enforcement agencies would continue with a full investigation based on the RCI’s findings, with legal action to follow if any offences were uncovered.
“Cabinet decided that a full investigation by enforcement agencies based on this report will continue immediately, and those involved will be brought to court if there are any violations of the law,” he said.
Fahmi added that TH’s announcement of a 3.5% profit distribution rate for the 2025 financial year reflected improvements in the fund’s current management.
“Cabinet also took note that TH has announced a profit distribution rate of 3.5 per cent for the financial year 2025, showing that its management is now in a better position,” he said.
Earlier, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the matter would be addressed through the appropriate channels, while maintaining that the RCI report should be made accessible for public scrutiny.
He said any wrongdoing identified through the report should be dealt with according to the law, while those cleared of misconduct should be given the opportunity to defend themselves.
“Now there is some debate about Tabung Haji. I do not want to talk at length about it, but hopefully during the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, we will decide. There is a report, let people read it.
“If there is no wrongdoing, defend it… if there is wrongdoing, prosecute it; if the punishment is imprisonment, then go to prison. Our system determines that investigations are carried out by the investigating bodies, charges are brought by the Attorney-General, and sentences are decided by judges. That is not the Prime Minister’s responsibility,” he said. – July 29, 2026
