00:00 Tabung Haji has begun to face several challenges
00:05 and it gives a slightly worrying impression
00:11 about the efforts and strength and confidence of this institution.
00:19 In 2018, I still remember,
00:21 Minister of Finance Lim Guan Eng
00:23 has chosen to save the problem of corruption
00:29 by establishing SPV
00:32 to take some of the assets
00:38 so that the strength of the Tabung Haji's mother is not impaired.
00:44 After studying the developments,
00:48 discussing with the Minister and Tan Sri Azman,
00:51 I have told, from the beginning when I took over this position,
00:57 that as long as the Tabung Haji is managed well and assured,
01:02 as it is happening now,
01:03 congratulations to the Justice Minister,
01:05 then the Ministry of Finance will start the discussion
01:14 to return all the assets that are now entrusted to the Ministry of Finance.
01:23 This actually also kills the slander that is very irresponsible
01:28 towards the Minister of Finance and the government at that time
01:32 as long as it is transferred to a group that is not Muslim.
01:37 Isn't it?
