KOTA BHARU: A video involving the chief executive officer (CEO) of Tabung Haji (TH) Properties Sdn Bhd who used discourteous words does not reflect the true image of the company as an Islamic institution, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Islamic Religious Affairs) Ahmad Marzuk Shaary said today.
On the contrary, he added, it was just a “personal offence” committed by the top staff member of the company.
“It was a closed-door meeting and we do not know how it could have leaked … Perhaps there is something that needs to be investigated thoroughly and comprehensively from the administrative aspect.
“Therefore, we are conducting an internal investigation to identify the real cause, why there are parties in the meeting or premises or the organisation who are hard pressed to leak this matter,” he said of the video that went viral.
He told reporters this after officiating at the Pengkalan Chepa-level circumcision programme at the Dewan Pusat Asuhan Tunas Islam, in Pengkalan Chepa, near here.
Recently, a three-minute video went viral on social media featuring the CEO of TH Properties uttering vulgar words in English and Bahasa Malaysia several times at a meeting believed to involve the agency’s administrative staff.
Marzuk said, however, that TH Properties and the individuals involved had apologised.
