The Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) has urged an end to the baseless allegations being levelled against it and which have stirred up confusion, while impacting unity among Muslims.

In a statement today, the TH stressed that its financial position was strong with revenue of RM4.47 billion and realised profit reaching RM3.53 billion for the financial year 2015.

“From 2009 to this year, TH has retained RM9,980 as the haj fee for each pilgrim. For 2016, the actual haj cost rose to RM18,890, so the subsidy was RM8,910.

“TH is expected to bear a subsidy of RM160 million for this haj season.

“The clearly strong financial and investment position of TH has enabled the pilgrims board to bear the haj subsidy of RM815 million over the past decade,” it added.

Meanwhile, depositors have been advised to check their bonus payments at TH counters or via the ATM machines of its strategic banking partners (Bank Islam, Bank Rakyat and Maybank Islamic) by the latest, Feb 10.
