Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), urges prospective pilgrims to be cautious of unauthorized Hajj and Umrah packages offered by unlicensed individuals and travel agencies. Despite ongoing warnings from Tabung Haji (TH) through various media platforms, many are still falling victim to fraudulent packages. The government takes this issue seriously and aims to combat Hajj scams through collaboration with the Royal Malaysian Police, the Department of Waqf, Zakat and Hajj (JAWHAR), and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC). The minister stresses the importance of choosing licensed Hajj packages from TH-approved Hajj Management Companies (HMCs), including those with Furada and Mujamalah visas, to ensure proper monitoring and quality service.
SEPANG: Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri , Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar mengingatkan kepada semua bakal jemaah haji supaya berhati-hati dengan penipuan pakej haji dan umrah yang ditawarkan individu dan syarikat pelancongan yang tidak berlesen.
Bagaimanapun, katanya, masih ramai lagi yang terpedaya dengan pakej-pakej haji tidak sah yang ditawarkan oleh pihak tidak bertanggungjawab. “Justeru, suka saya ingatkan semua bakal haji untuk memastikan pakej haji yang ingin diambil adalah daripada PJH yang telah dilesenkan oleh TH termasuk bakal haji yang mendapat visa Furada dan Mujamalah agar pemantauan dapat dilakukan bagi memastikan semua jemaah haji Malaysia mendapat perkhidmatan yang terbaik,” katanya.
Beliau turut menegaskan bahawa individu atau syarikat yang menawarkan perkhidmatan pakej haji tanpa kelulusan dan lesen daripada Tabung Haji boleh dikenakan tindakan undang- undang di bawah Akta Tabung Haji 1995.
