Representatives from the PAS ulama wing deliver a memorandum to a Tabung Haji representative outside the pilgrims’ fund headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Nazir Sufari, May 15, 2015.
PAS will take to the streets if Lembaga Tabung Haji chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Rahim and top executives of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) involved in the recent land deal between the two funds do not resign, says a leader from the party's influential ulama wing.
The ulama wing's information chief Datuk Dr Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali urged party members to lodge police reports around the country and to call for the resignations of those who had a conflict of interest in the deal.
"We want Azeez and the board members involved in 1MDB to immediately end their service. Tabung Haji should not be made into a 'yes man' to the betrayal of the public's funds," Khairuddin told the press today in front of the Tabung Haji building on Jalan Tun Razak in Kuala Lumpur today.
"If this is not settled, we will launch a massive demonstration together with the people," he said.
Earlier, Khairuddin led about 200 protesters in handing a memorandum to Tabung Haji's senior general manager of human resource Hisham Harun.
Protesters had gathered in front of the headquarters of the pilgrims' fund after Friday prayers.
The fund to help Muslims save to perform the haj or pilgrimage in Mecca, has come under fire for purchasing a 0.63ha plot of land at the Tun Razak Exchange for RM188.5 million from 1MDB.
Although Tabung Haji will now sell the land, PAS said that Azeez and other senior members of the fund's management had failed to administer pilgrims' savings wisely.
