Kuala Lumpur:The government's approach to diversifying Tabung Haji's (TH) investment portfolio and enhancing its risk management framework will be key topics on the first day of the third meeting of the fifth session of the 15th Parliament.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Datuk Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh (PN-Besut) plans to question the Prime Minister during the Oral Question-and-Answer session regarding measures to ensure the sustainability of TH funds. He is concerned about how these measures will help Malaysians afford the haj.
The safety of Malaysians overseas is another issue on the agenda, with Datuk Seri Sh Mohmed Puzi Sh Ali (BN-Pekan) set to query the Foreign Minister about bolstering the registration system for Malaysians abroad. He will inquire whether registration should be compulsory in high-risk destinations to ensure prompt assistance during emergencies.
