Perak DAP lodges report against Tabung Haji following 1MDB land deal
(The Malaysian Insider) – Perak DAP today lodged a police report against Lembaga Tabung Haji to for mismanagement and abuse of power following the fund’s move to sell a piece of land it just bought from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
Perak DAP Socialist Youth (Dapsy) secretary Howard Lee, said Tabung Haji should have acted in the interest of its depositors and not because Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak advised it to dispose of the land.
Najib is also Finance Minister and chairman of 1MDB’s advisory board.
“The question is did Tabung Haji follow the proper procedures before vetting the sale of the land, which as admitted by the chairman himself, was in following Najib’s advice.
“It also begs the question whether the purchase of the land from 1MDB was also made based on Najib’s advice instead of Tabung Haji stakeholders,” Lee said after lodging the police report at the Ipoh district police station today.
