The ministry, in a statement Sunday , said the price was set in line with current developments due to the increase in the cost of performing the umrah in complying with the standard operating procedures set by Saudi Arabian and Malaysian governments.

"This price is also a guide for the ministry in monitoring of the umrah industry, while the public can use it as a guide in choosing the company that suits their budget," it said. It said the ministry had discussed with the relevant associations before setting the floor price of the umrah package, with the last one set in 2017 at RM4,900.

As an initiative to address umrah package scams, it said, the ministry had made it mandatory for licensed umrah operators to apply for permission to advertise umrah promotions.
