Malaysia's Haj Fund Scandal: When Cronyism Meets Islam The latest development in the Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) scandal has seen former Religious Minister Jamil Khir Baharom facing prosecution over his alleged role in a series of questionable transactions.
The TH, which manages funds for Muslims undertaking the haj pilgrimage to Mecca, has been embroiled in controversy since a royal commission inquiry revealed 14 troubled investments between 2014 and 2020.
The report's findings paint a picture of cronyism and poor governance at the highest levels.
