Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim has called on the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the findings of the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji (TH), stressing that those responsible must be held accountable.
Following a briefing by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on the RCI’s findings, Sultan Ibrahim said no one should be spared if found guilty.
“No one must escape action if they are truly guilty. Most importantly, there should be no repeat of such issues,” he said in a statement issued by the Royal Press Office.
Agong briefed on Felda issues
Sultan Ibrahim was also briefed by Anwar on “current issues” involving the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda).
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has established a special task force to review the TH report and has made several arrests to assist its investigations.
Bukit Aman has separately opened five investigation papers into alleged commercial offences uncovered in the RCI report.
Stronger checks urged at entry points
The Agong also called on the authorities to strengthen security measures and checks at all airports and international entry points following recent cases involving Malaysians, including a pilot, who were arrested abroad for allegedly attempting to smuggle drugs.
Sultan Ibrahim said closer cooperation among the relevant agencies was needed, together with more effective enforcement and continuous surveillance.
“These measures are necessary to curb drug smuggling and other transnational criminal activities, which can threaten public safety and peace,” he said.
