Hajj Subsidy
He clarified that the government can no longer sustain such subsidies for affluent individuals. Anwar, also the Finance Minister, emphasized the importance of correcting the subsidy system to ensure it benefits the poor rather than extending assistance to wealthy individuals. This move aims to ensure fair distribution of resources. The cost of Hajj is expected to rise by an average of 11% next year due to factors beyond Tabung Haji’s control, such as accommodation etc.
