Consider This: Tabung Haji — History Repeating Itself

The Royal Commission of Inquiry report into Tabung Haji’s on its financial issues is finally public, some four years after it was completed.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with political economist Professor Emeritus Edmund Terence Gomez, Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at Universiti Malaya and has long researched the linkages between politics, policies, and enterprise.
