Akmal trolled for his dead silence on umrah scam but super-efficient to jump on ham sandwich furore
NETIZENS are apparently ticking off UMNO Youth chief Datuk Muhamad Akmal Saleh for turning his back on Muslim welfare matters whereby there is little room for him to derive political mileage.
This came about as he has yet to comment on the umrah (mini haj) scam allegedly masterminded by the husband-and-wife owners of Hejira Travel & Tour Holdings Sdn Bhd – both aged 31 – who have since been remanded for three days effective yesterday (Jan 16) to facilitate police investigations.
“There’ve been stories that for the past two to three days Malay Muslims were camping at a Malay Muslim (tour) agency that scammed would-be umrah pilgrims,” penned BUKAN Tokey Sarkis™(@farhanzahari) on X.
“Where is the UMNO Youth chief? The PAS Youth chief? Don’t you feel like helping fellow Malay Muslims who have been scammed? Heard the scam amounts to millions. Are you only keen to kick a fuss about sandwich?”
Dengar cerita dah 2 3 hari org melayu Islam berkampung kat agensi melayu Islam yg scam org nak pi umrah.
MANA KETUA PEMUDA UMNO? KETUA PEMUDA PAS?
Tak de rasa nak tolong ke sesama melayu Islam yg kena scam? Dengar cerita berjuta.
Takkan nak memekak pasai sandwich je?
#harapfaham
Many commenters also chipped in to reprimand Akmal and the opposition front for keeping mum on the umrah scam just because “it doesn’t involve DAP or the Chinese”.
To-date, eight individuals aged between 24 and 46, including the married couple who own the umrah operator agency, have been remanded for three days in connection with the alleged umrah package fraud case.
“So far eight police reports have been received from victims and we estimate that there are 379 victims altogether,” Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan told Berita Harian. “”Based on initial investigations, the estimated loss is RM2.1 mil.”
The severity of the umrah scam was highlighted by Sinar Harian which ran a sad story of how 60-year-old Maimun Sarajul who is one of the 379 victims of the fraud had struggled for 15 years to save enough money for her to perform her pilgrimage.
She shared with the Malay language portal how during that period she ate only rice with onions and salt to fulfill her desire to perform umrah but was ultimately cheated by the umrah operator. – Jan 17, 2025
15 tahun ikat perut kumpul duit untuk umrah - Jemaah terkandas
Selama 15 tahun ikat perut dengan hanya makan nasi berlaukkan bawang dan garam bagi menunaikan hajat mengerjankan ibadat umrah, tetapi akhirnya ditipu oleh syarikat pengendali umrah, lapor wartawan Sinar Harian, Tuan Buqairah Tuan Muhamad Adnan.
Perkara itu diluahkan seorang warga emas, Maimun Sarajul,60, yang merupakan antara 379 bakal jemaah yang gagal ke Tanah Suci.
Menurutnya, wang yang dikumpul tersebut adalah merupakan sumbangan bantuan daripada Baitulmal berjumlah RM400 sejak 2009.
