Tabung Haji Act amendments in final stages before parliamentary tabling, says TH CEO

The process of amending the Tabung Haji Act 1995 has reached 90% completion internally at the Tabung Haji Board, with the aim to present it to the Cabinet after finalizing technical processes and consultations.

This amendment addresses one of the 25 recommendations from the TH Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to enhance governance and ensure the preservation of Muslim trust.

Most of the recommendations have been implemented, with efforts ongoing to finalize the last few actions including legislative amendments.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the amendments as part of the government's efforts to strengthen institutional governance and transparency.

BANGI, Sept 3 — The process of amending the Tabung Haji Act 1995 (Act 535) has now reached 90 per cent at the internal level of the Tabung Haji Board (TH) and is expected to be brought to the Cabinet after the technical process and engagement with relevant parties are finalised.

TH chief executive officer Mustakim Mohamad said the amendment was among the remaining main actions following the 25 recommendations submitted by the TH Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI).

"One of the most important is the amendment to Act 535. This is still in our (action), I can tell you that we are more than 90 per cent in action.

"But there needs to be an end for us to bring to the Cabinet, a policy change that we need to bring to the Cabinet and to Parliament later," he said at the Dialog Ummah: Reality and Future of TH programme here today.

Mustakim said that currently, 19 out of 25 recommendations of the TH RCI, which is about 76 per cent, have been completed while the remaining six are still in action at all levels.

The remaining six actions include amendments to Act 535; limiting the scope of Bank Negara Malaysia's supervision of TH and strengthening the disciplinary process.

Meanwhile, TH chairman Tan Sri Rashid Hussain said his party has been working on the amendment intensively for the past year, including holding engagement sessions with relevant regulatory bodies.

Asked about the timeframe for the amendment to be tabled, he said the process of amending the Act need to go through several stages including the consideration of ministers, the Cabinet and the Attorney General's Department before being brought to Parliament.

"It will have to go through the process with the AG's Office for the final opinion. That's the process, and I will go through that process,” he said in a separate press conference.

Previously, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in a Facebook post that the government would implement amendments to Act 535 to ensure that the trust of Muslims continues to be preserved.

Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said the amendments were among the steps taken by the MADANI Government in strengthening governance and ensuring that every institutional weakness is firmly corrected.

Following that, TH welcomed the government's move to amend the Tabung Haji Act 1995 in line with the RCI's recommendations to strengthen governance in ensuring that the trust entrusted to it continues to be preserved.

TH announced that as an Islamic financial institution that manages the savings of Muslims to perform the hajj, TH is committed to continuing to strengthen governance, transparency and integrity in order to safeguard the interests of depositors and the sustainability of the institution. — Bernama

朝圣基金局内部对 1995 年朝圣基金法的修订工作已完成 90%，目标是在完成技术流程和磋商后提交内阁。

该修正案旨在落实泰国皇家调查委员会 (RCI) 提出的 25 项建议之一，以加强治理并确保维护穆斯林的信任。

大部分建议已经落实，目前正在努力完成最后几项工作，包括立法修正案。

安瓦尔·易卜拉欣总理强调，这些修正案是政府加强制度治理和提高透明度的努力的一部分。

万宜，9月3日讯——1995年朝圣基金局法令（第535号法令）的修订工作目前已在朝圣基金局内部完成90%，预计在技术流程和与相关各方的磋商完成后，将提交内阁审议。

泰国皇家银行首席执行官穆斯塔基姆·穆罕默德表示，这项修正案是泰国皇家调查委员会 (RCI) 提交的 25 项建议之后剩余的主要行动之一。

“其中最重要的一项是修改第 535 号法案。这项修改仍在进行中，我可以告诉你们，我们已经完成了 90% 以上。”

“但是我们需要向内阁提出一个最终方案，我们需要向内阁和议会提出一项政策变革，”他今天在“对话乌玛：TH的现实与未来”节目中说道。

穆斯塔基姆表示，目前TH RCI提出的25项建议中，已有19项（约占76%）完成，其余6项仍在各级实施中。

与此同时，TH主席丹斯里拉希德·侯赛因表示，他的政党在过去一年中一直在积极推进这项修正案，包括与相关监管机构举行磋商会议。

当被问及修正案何时提交议会时，他表示，修改该法案的过程需要经过几个阶段，包括部长、内阁和总检察长部门的审议，然后才能提交议会。

“最终意见需要经过司法部长办公室的审批程序。这就是流程，我会遵守这个流程。”他在另一场新闻发布会上说道。

此前，首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣在脸书上发帖称，政府将对第535号法令进行修订，以确保继续维护穆斯林的信任。

安瓦尔同时也是财政部长，他表示，这些修正案是 MADANI 政府为加强治理、确保彻底纠正所有制度缺陷而采取的措施之一。

随后，朝圣基金局对政府根据皇家朝圣委员会的建议修改 1995 年朝圣基金局法令表示欢迎，认为此举有助于加强治理，确保受托于朝圣基金局的信托基金继续得到维护。
