Tabung Haji is okay la

Someone asked me to check on this July 13 headline the other day and it made me wondered what the complaints were really all about,

TH dituntut kembalikan

 penginapan percuma


Apparently, there's this guy Datuk Abu Baker Sidek who is unhappy with the new arrangement at the new Tabung Haji complex in Sepang.

excerpts;
“Selama bertahun-tahun, bakal jemaah haji daripada Kedah, Perak dan lain-lain negeri diberi penginapan secara percuma selama satu hari sebelum ke Tanah Suci tetapi tidak lagi bermula musim ini,” katanya yang mendapat aduan daripada jemaah haji.

Well, the Sinar Harian report didn't say how many complaints the guy received or why the pilgrims complained to him instead of to Tabung Haji.

The report said Tabung Haji had not responded to Sinar Harian but it nonetheless quoted an official as saying,

excerpts;
Kakitangan TH itu berkata, bermula tahun ini, bakal jemaah haji dari negeri-negeri akan melaporkan diri di cawangan TH di negeri masing-masing dan akan transit di KLIA sebelum meneruskan penerbangan ke Tanah Suci.
“Tempoh menunggu untuk ke Tanah Suci tidaklah mengambil masa yang lama sehinggakan bakal jemaah perlu menginap,” katanya.
Difahamkan, bakal jemaah dan waris yang mahu menginap, TH menyediakan bilik di Movenpick Hotel and Convention Centre (MHCC) di Sepang tetapi kos penginapan ditanggung sepenuhnya oleh jemaah.

So, I was wondering what's the real problem.

As the official said, it doesn't take long to check in for the flight that the pilgrims have to stay overnight at the complex. If they still choose to do so, then they could stay at the hotel.

Otherwise, they could just come to the complex on time and take the flight just like any other people going on an overseas trip. I can't really see the problem here.

Well, apparently the complaint had been taken up by several pro-BN social media warriors to whack the PH government, saying that such things never happened before.

Come on guys, you all got it wrong la.

It was a purely Tabung Haji's decision and it has a valid answer to the complaints.

I checked with my friend at Tabung Haji just now and this is his WhatsApp reply;

"Jemaah yg dikatakan ramai tu sebenarnya waris yang hantar jemaah. Kalau ada 500 jemaah nak berlepas biasanya sampai 5,000 waris yg hantar.

"Sebenarnya dulu pun di Kompleks TH Kelana Jaya kita hanya sediakan bilik untuk jemaah outstation dan itu pun kira first come first serve basis.

"Sekarang dah ada 7 stesen berlepas. Kemudahan hotel sebelum ni untuk jemaah outstation dah tak perlu  lagi sebab ada feeder flights."

That should answer the matter, I think.

Whatever it is, I think Muslims in this country should move on from the mentality of demanding freebies.

Enough of the free accommodation, free food, free clothes etc.

We are better than that,

This is New Malaysia, okay.

The BN government which used to pamper us is no more.

Just be more disciplined and be where we need to be on time.

I believe those are what Islam wants of us, after all.

Anyway, Tabung Haji has done so much for the pilgrims with all those subsidies and other excellent services.

Okay, here's a video about the new Tabung Haji complex, and no one seems to be complaining about it there;

      Ummmm, Annie is Neutral like Rosmah is Frugal, lah :)

      She was deaf, dumb and blind when Kak Rosie's pet Keling Montel, Azeez Baling, was defrauding TH via the TRX land scam.

      Remember?

      “Husam said Johan's claim that the purchase is based on market price is questionable as it is multiple times what 1MDB paid.

      This view is shared by PAS VP Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man who said this is becoming a family business where a patriach is twisting the arm of his son-in-law.

      "This is the simple business model of 1MDB - the father sells to the son at a cheap price, and then forces his son-in-law to buy from his son at a higher price. Where does all the profit go?" Tuan Ibrahim asked.

      He raised concern that next in 1MDB's sights are agencies like Lembaga Zakat, Employee Provident Fund or Felda.

      He said these agencies may be next to be forced to pick up the assets 1MDB got for a song, at inflated prices. (NOTE - Yes, Tuan Ibrahim was right on this point.)

      The Muslim Youth Movement (Abim) also demanded the police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate the matter.

      "We view this seriously. It can affect savings of Muslims who intend to fulfill the fifth pillar of Islam (the haj)," said Abim president Amidi Manan in a statement.

      FUN FACT: The TH Investment Committee officially warned Azeez AGAINST this purchase.

      FUN FACT 2: Informal checks with a property valuer revealed that the actual market price of land in the TRX area would only fetch between RM2,000 and RM2,500 psf. This would theoretically mean that Tabung Haji overpaid by between RM223 to RM773 psf.

      FUN FACT 3: Why do you think people like Apandi Babi and Lodin Wok Scorpene got mixed up in all this?

      FUN FACT 4: When Apandi Babi held up in his infamous chart that cameras zoomed into and captured, TH was revealed as the victim of several illegal songlap to shell companies controlled by the Fat Baling Keling, which then funnelled the money to the legendary Bugis pirate.

      Don’t you miss these good old days : )

    3. Pros Kangkang,

      There are alternatives to todi.

      You can ask Nazifuddin bin Najib to share some of the red wine he bought for his Taiwan doll.

      While sipping it, you can also watch "The Wolf of Wall Street", the very Islamic movie made by Ustaz Riza Aziz with stolen 1MDB money.

      Clearly the best way to become a good Muslim is to watch Umno leaders and their offspring.

    1. It is not to be made an issue. Kalau dah specify dalam contract just go ahead. Kakadang makcik pokcik tanya kawan tahun sebelum ada . Tu dia tak prepare.
      Kalau nak tujar arrangement lain kali, kena la inform awal dan a lot of information. Bayangkan yag pergi ni ramai first timer. Anak cucu pon bukan semua canggih. Yang penting keprihatinan th.
      Apa sanagt la bilik utk jemaah. Boleh potong dari akaun th jemaah. Yg penting tanya dulu dan teluS. Janagn sampai malaysia baru konon tapi pengurusan hampeh. Dok expect rakyat malaysia baru tapi pemerintah jauh meleset ke belakang. Tak mengaku salah pulak tu? Ini bukan masalah umno ke apa. Kalau ada ketirisan sesiapa pon boleh twgur. Jangan harap umno jer. Pihak kerajaan tak boleh menegur dan di tegur ke? Makna nya lbh teruj dr zaman Najib, yg blh ditegur walau ada cara la nak menegur.

    2. AsSalam tuan,
      Untuk makluman tuan setiap bakal jemaah akan menerima surat jadual perjalanan (SJP) yang memberikan maklumat awal secara terperinci tentang Tarikh berlepas, Nombor penerbangan, Masa untuk melapor diri dan lain-lain maklumat berkaitan persiapan sebelum berlepas. Apabila sudah hampir hari untuk berlepas setiap jemaah juga akan menerima pesanan ringkas untuk mengingatkan serta memaklumkan sebarang perubahan masa jika berlaku. Jadi jemaah dan waris kenalah ikut seperti yang dinyatakan dalam SJP dan juga pesanan ringkas tersebut. Pada hari melapor diri di kompleks TH di MHCC nanti segala urusan akan berjalan lancar dan pantas serta penuh ketertipan. Akan tetapi yang buat suasana huru hara dan haru biru tu adalah daripada waris2 jemaah haji yang datang menghantar. Jika mereka rasa tidak selesa duduk menunggu di ruang legar maka tempah lah bilik hotel di Movenpick dan nikmati suasana selesa hotel 5 bintangnya.

  14. Annie,

    Malaysian pilgrims to Mecca have it too good today.

    I think I have seen crowds of them in klia2, all dressed in the same garb, all with the same luggage bags, all with the same bored look waiting for something to happen, all very patient.

    Must be very professionally organised.

    Some time ago, I watched a documentary about some African tribesmen who walked from their mountain villages in Africa, all the way to Mecca.

    They were just too poor to afford cars or airplane tickets, but that did not stop them from going on Haj.

    Just amazing to watch and I found it very inspiring.

    Apparently, this practice still goes on today.

    I tried to google up a link but I just can't find it so maybe others may have better luck then me. Sorry.

    Meanwhile, this is what I found

    https://allafrica.com/stories/201109052023.html

    BTW, just in case anybody forgets, there is the return trip home as well.

    Yup, Malaysian pilgrims have it really good today, I think.

    1. I wonder how many who perform the haj really appreciate or know professor Ungku Aziz, the founder of tabung haji.

      What i can see are so many who seems to be so thankful to those thieves that are stealing from their hard earned savings or misappropriating their money for political reasons. Luckily there is a change of government, otherwise tabung haji will be emptied of funds in no time by these crooks that were so admired.

  15. Annie the neutral,

    Under new Malaysia, everything has to be transparent.

    Cannot simply buy land at so cheap price and then want to sell so expensive, many times over to Tabung Haji.

    Taking advantage of the poor people, such as the people saving in Tabung Haji is the things of the past. That is the old Malaysia.

    So as Kleptocracy, that is the old Malaysia.

    Under "New Malaysia", transparency is the new normal.

    //just to share this speech by Sultan Nazrin of Perak://

    Just learnt something new about the lineage of the royal house of Perak over the last few days from someone who claims a remote relationship.

    Put it this way, he attends family gathering where the Sultan of Selangor also turns up for.

    But.. but.. but.. the Sultan of Selangor?? We were discussing the Sultan of Perak.

    I had forgotten that the "authorisation" for the formation of the royal house of Selangor came originally from the Sultan of Perak, back whenever it was.

    Anyway, the stuff I heard was very interesting but it is all probably public knowledge so no need for me to repeat it here.

    It relates to certain royal practices and customs which go back a few hundred years.

    Fascinating and a little bit scary even though I hold a scientific view to it all :)

    I guess all the royal houses in Malaysia will have similar practices and customs dating back several hundred years.

    Might read up more one day - just for fun. I dunno if there will be much of it on the internet though... hmmmm...
