00:00Former UMNO Youth Chief Kairi Jamaludin says it is premature to call for a fresh royal commission of inquiry into
00:07the restructuring of Dabong Haji.
00:10On the latest Kelua Sekejap podcast, he called instead for a management report and audit of TH's non-performing assets
00:17held by Urus Harta Jama'ah Sindirian Berhad, a Finance Ministry special purpose vehicle.
00:24Kairi said the review could show whether the assets were beyond recovery or whether recovery plans had failed, adding that
00:31this could still expose flaws in Pakatan Harapan's approach without another RCI.
00:36It can point to one of two things. Satu adalah memang aset itu teruk sangat, tak boleh nak recover. Ataupun
00:42perancangan untuk pemulihan aset itu memang tak berjalan seperti mana yang dirancang.
00:48During Tuesday's Dewan Rakyat debate, Tampin MP Isam Isa of Barisan Nasional proposed a new inquiry covering 2021 to 2025,
00:58as the previous RCI covered 2014 to 2020.
01:03Stressing that the audit of TH should not stop halfway, BN's Kurniawan Naim Mukhtar called for an examination of UJSP's
01:11asset recovery, disposals, cash flow, management costs and sukuk restructuring.
01:18TH's RSN Rare also backed a fresh probe into TH's financial and management problems.
01:25Kairi also criticised Perikatan Nasional MPs who walked out because Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was absent, arguing that they should
01:33have stayed and debated the report.
01:35Pandangan sayalah. Keputusan yang lebih baik dan lebih matang adalah untuk bahas.
01:41Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, underwent elective surgery on Monday for an abdominal hernia.
01:47PN wanted the sitting postponed, but Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul rejected the request.
01:54PN MPs then walked out, while Muhyiddin Yassin and several Bersatu MPs remained.
01:59Kairi argued that staying would have shown all sides recognise the seriousness of the RCI findings and the need to
02:06discuss TH's future.
