HISTORY OF TABUNG HAJI CHAPTER 1 :
Tabung Haji is a leading Islamic economic financial institution established with the awareness of assisting and providing investment services and Hajj arrangements for Muslims in Malaysia. Tabung Haji was established not only to manage the Hajj operations of the Malaysian population but it also functions as an alternative body for the Muslim investors to save while investing in halal and in accordance with the sacred Islamic law The money deposited in Tabung Haji will be invested in invesment institutions that are halal and accordance with Islamic compatibility in order to ensure cleanliness of the validity of the profits obtained so that it is free from elements of riba or mixed with illegal things. HISTORY OF TABUNG HAJI
In overcoming all economic conditions, Tabung Haji has and has always proven to history that it is able to stand firm as a leading Islamic financial institution in the world. If you recall, the total savings in 1963 (the year of Inception), Tabung Haji had 1281 depositors with a total of RM46600 as savings. By the end of 1997, Tabung Haji had accumulated 3,205,885 depositors with a balance of RM5.7 billion. The proposed establishment of this organization was put forward by Prof. Royal Ungku Aziz motivated by the achievement of comfort and economic stability upon the return of pilgrims to the country when the hajj is completed also aims to provide halal investment and savings space on the Islamic side to Muslims. Before that, the average pilgrim would be economically squeezed when returning from the pilgrimage by losing important assets in life such as land, houses and livestock that had been sold or mortgaged. With the establishment of TH, the affairs related to Malaysians’ hajj pilgrimage became much easier and well-organised. Malaysian Muslims who are making their maiden trip to the Holy Land would have nothing to worry about because TH looks into all their needs including matters related to passport, hajj visa, transportation, accommodation in Makkah, Madinah, Mina, and Arafah as well as healthcare and hajj guidance.
OBJECTIVES Provide facilities for Muslims to save money gradually without being contaminated by usury to meet the expenses of fulfilling the obligatory Hajj or other beneficial expenses. Giving opportunities to the Muslim people to participate more effectively in the field of capital investment in the enterprise, trade, plantation land and building sectors through their savings in a way that is halal from the point of view of Islam. Organize various quality facilities and services for welfare, health and orderly control, and comprehensive protection in the Holy Land for Muslims performing the obligatory Hajj.

ACTIVITES OF TABUNG HAJI CHAPTER 2 :
1 The GDP of Malaysia has grown by a very healthy over 8%. This helps the nation's development and foster a climate that is good for investments. A total of 65 investment offers, 50 general offers, and 15 offers from the ministry of international commerce and industry were made to Tabung Haji in 1994, of which 20 were accepted, 2 Up to RM 296.9 million is Tabung Haji's annual income. With a contribution of RM 108.67 million, the gain from the sale of shares was the main driver of the growth. A total of RM 105.51 million came from stock dividends, RM 49.63 million from bank investments in Islamic financial instruments, RM 24.64 million from building rent, and RM 7.64 million from various other sources. 3 The financial year's performance by Tabung Haji in terms of savings collection was quite positive as a total of RM 956.9 million was collected, an increase of 17.8% from 1993 with a collection of RM 811.9 million. At both state and district levels, a well-organized and structured marketing strategy is responsible for this achievement. The level of annual savings collecting is also positively impacted by the open hajj registration procedure. 4 The Financial System (PROVT) has been computerised in 14 state offices and 30 district offices Improvement Plan for the Tabung Haji Computer Application System In 40 district offices that have not yet adopted computers, depositor and Hajj system are present Coordinating the replacement of desktop computers at the state and federal levels of government; and Thoroughly test the Depository and Hajj System for state offices and Headquarters' "disaster recovery plan" The Computer Division was in charge of implementing in 1994: 1994

1995 1) The Malaysian economy has continued to grow extremely healthily this year. The country's investment climate is favourable, and the development climate is expanding. Tabung Haji seized the chance to intensify investing activity. A total of 34 investment proposals have been made to Tabung Haji, and 12 of them have been accepted. 2) The total annual revenue of Tabung Haji is RM 339.2 million. The greatest source of the increase, totaling RM 161.2 million, is stock dividends. The bank earned RM 78.5 million via investments in Islamic financial instruments, RM 60.5 million from the sale of shares, RM 26.5 million from building rentals, and RM 12.5 million from various other sources. 3) It has been a fantastic year for Tabung Haji's financial affairs, particularly in terms of the collecting of its savings. The entire money collected, RM 1.278 billion, was more than the RM 1.16 billion annual objective and RM 956.8 million from 1994. This accomplishment is something to be really proud of, and it was undoubtedly made possible by a well-thought-out and organized marketing campaign at all levels, particularly in the states and districts. Additionally, the achievement of a net savings collection of RM 609 million (compared to RM 240.61 million in 1994) has been greatly encouraged by the open Tabung Haji registration system. Implement a "on-line" savings and hajj system for 45 district offices; Coordinate the creation of a 'imaging' application system for personal/nominee forms up till 1993; Coordinate the fundamental rollout of the salary deduction system through EDI Sdn. Bhd. Implementing annual user applications to implement application system upgrades; researching new technology offers like SMART-CARD, statement SPOOLING, INFORLINE/TELEHAJI, and label sensing. 4) The 1995 responsibilities of the Computer/Information Management Division included :
1 Malaysia's economic growth momentum has been impacted by the economic crisis, which has contributed to the decline in the value of the ringgit and the stock market. The growth rate is expected to have decreased to barely 7% from 8.5% the year before. As a financial organization, Tabung Haji chose well to focus 75% of its 1997 investment on the plantation industry and invest in long-term assets. 2 There were 54 different investment proposals made to Tabung Haji, and 13 of them were accepted. In addition to the distribution of special shares, existing joint venture and privatization projects received the majority of the share investment during the year. As of December 31, there had been an investment in shares for RM 2.979.10 million. 3 The largest factor in the growth of RM 293.3 million was share transaction profit, which was RM 662.3 million in 1997 (compared to RM 457.9 million in 1996). Building rentals brought in RM 29.6 million, earnings from bank investments in Islamic financial instruments RM 158.9 million, and various other incomes RM 1.7 million. Share dividends contributed RM 178.7 million. Despite the country's economic slump causing the stock market to collapse, Tabung Haji is still able to grow its share investment returns with an income of RM 472.1 million (1996: RM 304.8 million). 4 A great year for Tabung Haji's financial situation, especially in terms of the gathering of its deposits. The entire amount collected, RM 2.14 billion, was more than the planned annual goal of RM 1.90 billion and the previous record of RM 1.76 billion set in 1996. This accomplishment is something to be really proud of, and it was undoubtedly made possible by a well-thought-out and organized marketing campaign at all levels, particularly in the states and districts. The success of savings gathering has also been greatly aided by the open hajj registration system. 1997
1998 In 1998, the nation was still experiencing a severe economic crisis. It also had an impact on Tabung Haji. Costs have grown as a result of the depreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit in relation to the Saudi Riyal, particularly in management and hajj operations for all types of services including lodging, housing, and currency exchange. Tabung Haji made RM 544.07 in revenue (compared to RM 472.19 million in 1997). 66 investment offers totaling RM 283.4 million were submitted for 1998, however only 3 of them were approved by Tabung Haji for participation. In the wake of the economic crisis, Tabung Haji is extremely cautious and thoroughly investigates share investment offers. As of December 31, investments in shares totaled RM 695.74 million (1997: RM 1,130.28 million), and the total value of the shares' accumulated assets was RM 3,478.90 million. Tabung Haji's gross revenue for 1998 was RM 749.29 million (RM 673.49 million for 1997). The bank's investment profit from Islamic financial instruments contributed RM 169.83 million, while share dividends contributed RM 250.42 million, profit from share transactions contributed RM 294.05 million, and various income contributed RM 12.84 million. Tabung Haji was still able to increase its share investment with an income of RM 544.47 million (1997: RM 583.15 million), even though the stock market position of 1998 continued to decrease due to the nation's economic collapse. The financial concerns of Tabung Haji continued to run smoothly in 1998, particularly in terms of savings accumulation. The entire amount of savings made in 1998 were RM 2.95 billion, exceeding the established savings goal of RM 2.43 billion by 20.5%. This remarkable accomplishment is the consequence of Tabung Haji's focus on the needs of its clients. Depositors have been encouraged to keep saving at Tabung Haji by the helpful and transparent counter management. It was able to raise savings performance in 1998 because to consumers' greater comfort and convenience when transacting at Tabung Haji counters, which was backed by a well-thought-out and structured marketing campaign. 1. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2.
ACHIEVEMENTS OF TABUNG HAJI CHAPTER 3 :
Not only that, the Sultan of Selangor ordered that the pilgrims always take care of the good name and dignity of the kingdom, as well as comply with the rules and laws set by the government authorities of Saudi Arabia. Before the pilgrims boarded flight MH418 on April 30 1994, to Makkah, he shared this information with the pilgrim then. He also prayed that all pilgrims would have a successful hajj and hoped that pilgrims would use the journey to learn the theoretical and practical aspects of living as pious and devout Muslims. SULTAN SELANGOR SATISFIED WITH TABUNG HAJI MANAGEMENT The Sultan of Selangor is satisfied with how Tabung Haji manages the pilgrims and hopes that efforts to improve the services provided to pilgrims can be maintained occasionally. When the pilgrims arrive in Makkah, the Malaysian pilgrims need to be independent and cooperate.
TABUNG HAJI SHOULD BE EMULATED (HAJJ MINISTER) On Mac 1988, the Minister of Hajj and Waqf for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdul Wahab Ahmad Abdul Waise' requested that the number of pilgrims be reduced to overcome the congestion problem in the holy city of Makkah every time the hajj season comes. It is intended so that pilgrims can perform their hajj comfortably. According to the Minister of Hajj of Saudi Arabia, many pilgrim's residences in Makkah need to be used and suitable for living. For the next few years, the building that needs to be repaired will be repaired or rebuilt if the number of congregations is too large, and will cause the work to be carried out to be impossible. Next, Sheikh Abdul Wahab also stated that the management of the pilgrims could be done neatly because of the cooperation between TH and the Government of Saudi Arabia. During the visit, Sheikh Abdul Wahab was taken around the building to watch various viewing programs and was briefed on Tabung Haji activities. Dato' Yusuf Nor and the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to Malaysia, Sheikh Fuad Abdul Hamid Al-Khatib, were also present during the visit. He and his entourage visited Tabung Haji Headquarters on February 8. His visit to Malaysia was due to an invitation by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Dato' Dr Yusuf Nor. Regarding Tabung Haji, he praised the excellent efforts made by TH, and other countries should emulate the services performed by TH. There have been many changes and progress achieved by Tabung Haji since his last visit here five years ago, he said. He also said that Malaysian pilgrims have high discipline and are always supervised by Tabung Haji officials.

TABUNG HAJI AGENDA'S EXCELLENT CULTURE Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Dato' Abang Abu Bakar Datu Bandar Abang Haji Mustapha in 1994, called for the formation of a culture of excellence to be the main agenda of Tabung Haji to improve the organization further. He said that the important culture is based on quality, productivity and innovation. He spoke at Tabung Haji's Outstanding Service Award Presentation Ceremony on July 27, 1993, where he stated that Tabung Haji's management needed to pay attention to efforts to increase productivity in all areas of activity. "Creative culture or innovation should continue to be given attention because this can trigger new ideas and changes towards further improving the performance of public services. Next, the appearance of this aspect encourages TH people to innovate and think about renewal continuously. "Furthermore, he also emphasized that Tabung Haji's excellence lies in its visonary management machinery because vision is the main pillar that determines the direction and operating pattern of this organization. Therefore, the management of the TH needs to ensure that the vision that has been drafted can be communicated to all staff so that they are always aware of their responsibilities and roles that need to be played, he addes. In his speech, Dato Abang Abu Bakar also touched on the future planning of Tabung Haji, which is being and will be made. Tabung Haji must consider and prioritize the wishes of its customers, namely pilgrims and Muslims.
TABUNG HAJI IS AN EXAMPLE OF INDONESIA ESTABLISHING COPERATIVES Indonesia will establish a speacial cooperative for prospective pilgrims. This cooperative is for storing money to fulfil the obligatory Hajj. In August 1988, the Head of the Council of Indonesian Scholars, Bapak Kiai Haji Hassan Basri, said the Tabung Haji would be an example of the establishment of the cooperative. It is because the efforts carried out by Tabung Haji are different from others, where depositors will benefit before they perform the hajj. Next, when he visited the Tabung Haji Headquarters on August 12, he said that the move to establish the cooperatives was made after several council representatives had come to Kuala Lumpur in 1987 to study the Tabung Haji administration system. Not only that, Kiai Haji Hassan stated that Tabung Haji had pioneered the development of the Muslim community through the fifth pillar of Islam. His visit to Malaysia was due to an invitation from the Islamic Center for a program. Where this program is the celebration of Ma'al Hijrah at the National Level 1409. Then, the Chairman of Tabung Haji who is Dato' Haji Hanafiah Haji Ahmad, stated that Kiai Haji Hassan's visit was an honour and moral support for the Tabung Haji. The relationship established in the field of hajj affairs for these two countries is in good condition, especially at the welfare and medical officers level. Therefore, according to Dato' Haji Hanafiah, this relationship should be nurtured for the well-being of Muslims in these two countries, where the country has the most Muslims.

CONTROVERSY OF TABUNG HAJI CHAPTER 5 :
PROBE INTO FUNDS ALLEGEDLY MISSING Kuala Terengganu: Tabung Haji has been ordered by the federal government to conduct a thorough inquiry into the reportedly lost monies. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi stated today that the organisation would determine whether the investigation should be handled by the police or the Anti-Corruption Agency. He argued that the Federal Government should get the investigation reports as quickly as feasible. The funds from Tabung Haji's investments, which had been handled by a local business, were gone. The money could not be located, according to the report. An estimated RM8 million was purportedly taken from the accounts of many Tabung Haji depositors in August 2002. Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi being greeted by a big crowd on his arrival in Kampung Pak Sabah in Dungun. Accession No 2007/0049383 Figure 12
Tabung Haji has initiated legal action against a local funds management business in Kuala Lumpur in an effort to retrieve RM80 million worth of its investments. However, the Minister in the Department of the Prime Minister, Datuk Abdul Hamid Zainal Abidin, made it clear that the business in issue had only invested RM200 million of Tabung Haji's cash, not the RM500 million that was initially reported. Tabung Haji has been successful in recovering RM120 million, and the organization is currently pursuing legal action in an effort to obtain the remaining RM80 million owed to them. To the media, Abdul Hamid stated that at the same time, they are conducting an investigation into the corporation and have filed the claim. TABUNG HAJI SUIT FILED TO RECOVER RM80 MILLION
ISSUES OF LOSSES RM80 MILLION Kuala Lumpur: An asset management business that is now being sued by Lembaga Urusan Tabung Haji for investment losses of RM80 million has stated that it was just utilized to transfer the funds to forex trader Ahmad Hassan. The lawsuit was filed because the asset management company is responsible for the losses. In the defense that it filed, Metrowangsa Asset Management Sdn Bhd stated that the pilgrim fund had given it instructions to engage Ahmad's services in order to make investments in the Special Trading Programme or the High Yield Programme. In addition to this, it said that Tabung Haji was well aware that the investment program was "extremely risky." According to Metrowangsa, Tabung Haji instructed the bank to only act as a conduit for the transfer of monies to Ahmad and the firm he works for, Multitude Global Asset Management Private Ltd. According to the document, Tabung Haji was unable to engage in direct business with Ahmad and his firms because they lacked the appropriate licenses to operate as fund managers in Malaysia. There was not a documented contract that existed directly between Tabung Haji and Multitude Global. In addition, Metrowangsa stated that Tabung Haji was fully aware that Ahmad had the authority to utilize the money in any manner that he saw appropriate.
ISSUES SHOWCAUSE LETTERS TO SIX SENIOR STAFF Six top management employees were sent notices of show cause by Tabung Haji in Kuala Lumpur due to their suspected participation in the Metrowangsa Asset Management investment case. There are now five officials in their positions, while the sixth has resigned. Datuk Noh Omar, who serves as a Parliamentary Secretary in the Department of the Prime Minister, stated that the letters were sent by the internal disciplinary committee of the fund board. He stated that the committee will undertake a domestic investigation the following week, during which time a decision about the fate of the six would be made. During a news conference held in the foyer of the Parliament building, he stated that legal action would be taken if there was evidence of malpractice or corruption. They also won't think twice about filing a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Agency when they find out about it.
THE DARK HISTORY UNDER THE PAKATAN HARAPAN GOVERNMENT A analysis of the Tabung Haji hotel & conference centre Terengganu's operations in Kuala Lumpur reveals that it consistently posts an annual profit (after taxes). Dato' Dr. Khairuddin Aman Razali, a member of parliament from Kuala Nerus, made this announcement in a press release on Wednesday. He asserts that Terengganu earned a profit of RM379,100 in 2014, RM706,900 in 2016, RM1,716 million in 2017, and RM1,025 million in 2018. In regard to that, the management must respond right away to the query, "Why should a hotel that has generated a profit be transferred to a special purpose company (SPV)?" This behaviour runs counter to the goal of healing. Doctor Khairuddin posed a query. According to him, the Minister of Religious Affairs should hire more qualified executives to increase the earnings of hotels like the Hotel and Convention Centre Terengganu rather than increasing sales directly. Additionally, he questioned whether there was any assurance that properties like the Hotel & Convention Centre Terengganu, which are alleged to be loss-making, would be returned to Tabung Haji after they had recovered from their losses. He emphasised that the government should first obtain their consent before selling properties like the Th hotel and conference centre since they are assets owned by Tabung Haji depositors. He continued by saying that none of these hotels should be given to SPV because they are all owned by Tabung Haji savers. The entire incident involving the sale of the Terengganu Hotel & Convention Centre and other hotels is a stain on the history of the journey, and 9.4 million depositors' money totaling more than RM75 billion were lost as a result. He was adamant.
CONTRIBUTION OF TABUNG HAJI CHAPTER 6 :
Tabung Haji has given 'corrugated iron sheets' costing RM 10,000 to be utilised in the construction of buildings devastated by the disaster as a gesture of compassion for the victims of the recent floods in Bangladesh. On February 6, 1988, in Butterworth, the Director of the Penang Haji Fund, Haji Mohd Jaafar haji Ibrahim, presented the donation to Mr. Rafiqul Bari, the First Secretary of the Bangladesh Embassy in Malaysia. These supplies are bought in Kuala Lumpur and shipped via the Port of Penang to the port of Chittagong, Bangladesh. This will help Bangladesh to recover back from the disaster that happened there and also and can strengthen the relationship between Malaysia and Bangladesh CONTRIBUTIONS FOR BANGLADESH FLOOD VICTIMS
Through the Taha Club, which was introduced last year, 2011 , Tabung Haji is dedicated to assisting Muslim higher education institution (HEI) students in performing the Hajj at a young age. The initiative aims to inspire and inform HEI students about the value of starting to save early and to provide them the opportunity to create preparations now to avoid future challenges. Director of the Federal Territories Tabung Haji, Hamidun Ibrahim, stated that the club not only promotes saving but also gives graduate training and practical training programmes to club members to give them early exposure prior to entering the working world. They encourage graduates who are also Taha Club members to pursue practical training at Tabung Haji in accordance with their individual fields of study. Additionally, during the Hajj season and throughout the Hajj operation in the homeland, this club encourages members to participate in volunteer programmes, he added. He made these remarks yesterday at the club's launch ceremony at the Technical Education Campus of the Malaysian Teacher Education Institute (IPGM), in this city. Dr Mahmud Yahya, Deputy Director of IPGM, Technical Education Campus, was also present. As the club was created for the first time concerning higher education, it is thought that the institution concerned became a pioneer for HEIs throughout the Federal Territory. Hamidun claims that his party is likewise dedicated to complying with the government's demand that 50% of the nation's Muslims join the Haji Fund by 2012. He said that different other measures have been put in place to guarantee that graduates join the relevant club, where they would later work with numerous other HEIs. Another development, according to Hamidun, was that IPGM students joined the club with 100% of their studies, giving the group's launch their complete support. SPONSORSHIP FOR HAJJ AT A YOUNG AGE
