KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 — Tabung Haji (TH) today announced the cost for first-time Malaysian muassasah pilgrims from the B40 group to perform the haj this year at RM12,356 per person.
TH Group managing director and chief executive officer Syed Hamadah Syed Othman said the cost for first-time pilgrims from the M40 group, however, is at RM19,152 per person.
He said this was due to the fact that the cost of performing the haj for the muassasah pilgrims had risen to RM33,300 this year from RM30,850 last year.
The government has also agreed to subsidise RM1,000 per pilgrim for the haj season.

“Those from the M40 group, on the other hand, will receive RM14,148 in financial aid or 42 per cent from the total cost per person,” he told a press conference on the haj cost and offer letter for the 1445H/2024M haj season at Menara TH here today. —Bernama
