KUALA LUMPUR: Tabung Haji and intermediary banks have been urged to improve the security aspects of online banking, apart from tightening the conditions for online withdrawals, following fraud where pilgrimage funds linked to conventional bank accounts of victims have been targeted.

Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim in a statement on Wednesday said the move would be in line with the measures implemented by Permodalan Nasional Berhad for dealings in Amanah Saham Bumiputera.

Rais said Tabung Haji had informed during the meeting that the total amount of losses incurred due to scammers involving the pilgrimage fund so far amounted to RM1,961,430 through various banking institutions. " decided that all the actions and decisions of this committee meeting should be proposed in the next Dewan Negara session so that the issues and problems faced by the people receive due attention," he said.

"It is suggested that responsibility should be taken by banks that act as intermediaries in Tabung Haji affairs because savings withdrawals are done using conventional banking mediums and not through Tabung Haji itself," he added.
