KUALA LUMPUR: The assets of Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) that were handed over to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) will be returned to the TH board, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said the decision was taken following the “recovery” of the board, which is now “well managed”.
“I have been closely monitoring the developments. I told you from the beginning when I took over this position (as prime minister), once Tabung Haji is well managed and convincing, then the finance ministry will start discussions to hand over all the assets that are now entrusted to the SPV.
“When I look at the public confidence (in TH), its efficient management and integrity, I believe there is no reason why the finance ministry cannot discuss and hand back the assets to Tabung Haji,” he said when launching TH’s 60th anniversary celebration here this morning.
