Pakatan Harapan spin-doctors accuse Yang di-Pertuan Agong of corruption involving Tabung Haji

This was what Suara Tian Chua a.k.a. Malaysia Chronicle reported, which was lifted from Suara Clare Rewcastle Brown a.k.a. Sarawak Report:

BOMBSHELL – AGONG’S ROLE IN NEW TABUNG HAJI SCANDAL QUESTIONED IN REPORT: WAS THIS HOW MUHYIDDIN MADE IT AS PM DESPITE ABSENCE OF SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT FROM MPs?

Against such a background it is perhaps of little surprise to discover the government-backed pilgrimage fund is right at the centre of the latest eco-scandal about to be highlighted by NGOs.

Sarawak Report has sighted leaked information from a damning report on malpractices by the fund’s plantation arm, Tabung Haji Plantations (THP), which has caused a number of documented problems in Sarawak, Sabah and Kalimantan on the island of Borneo.

The Pakatan Harapan spin-doctors suggest the Agong is crooked

According to the documentation, over 8,000 hectares of protected forest was de-gazetted by the state authorities in one of Pahang’s most famous beauty spots, the Yong Forest Reserve, which is directly adjacent to Taman Negara National Park. Leaked reports, including one from the timber certification auditor SGS, show the given purpose was to convert the land for yet more oil palm – the licence holder being Tabung Haji Plantations.

Company research has revealed that THP is only the 55% shareholder of Deru Semangat, the other shareholder is the Sultan of Pahang and present Agong of Malaysia with 45% of the private company.

Is the Tabung Haji scandal linked to Muhyiddin Yassin’s appointment as PM8? asks Pakatan Harapan spin-doctors

There are also unfortunate conflicts of interests that need to be addressed in the light of this hitherto unpublicised involvement by the present King of Malaysia in this major project licensed by his own state authorities of Pahang.

Sarawak Report is therefore bound to point out that the Agong, who controversially appointed the new prime minister, despite the absence of any significant support amongst MPs, appears to have had a direct interest in the arrival of a government that has immediately pledged to reverse policies that were creating problems for his palm oil venture.
