- Hatched: the outlet is state-affiliated or state-controlled
Lean is where the outlet sits in its OWN country's politics, never on one global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
Ownership is disclosed, never rated.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
The Malaysian government will release the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji today. The Cabinet has agreed to publish the findings, and any investigations arising from the report will resume immediately.
The commission, chaired by former chief justice Raus Sharif, identified that serious governance failures, political interference, and questionable accounting practices contributed to the pilgrimage fund's financial difficulties between 2014 and 2020. The report also highlighted weaknesses in the Tabung Haji Act 1995, which granted excessive powers to the minister in charge of religious affairs regarding appointments to senior management and the board.
Additionally, the report found that political interference influenced major financial decisions, such as profit distribution.
