The last batch of 281 Haj pilgrims arrived at the KL International Airport at 7am today.

There have been a total of 64 flights - 39 by Malaysia Airlines and 25 by Saudi Airlines - to bring home about 22,000 Malaysian haj pilgrims in stages since Oct 21.

Lembaga Tabung Haji general manager for public affairs and corporate communications, Anis Zuhani Ahmad, however, said a haj pilgrim who was still ill was receiving treatment at King Fahd Hospital in Jeddah, Arab Saudi.

He said Tabung Haji personnel in the Holy Land were also monitoring his condition.

During the haj season this year, 26 Malaysian pilgrims died in the Holy Land, including 11 women.
