Minister explains why B40, M40 pilgrims paying full haj cost

Pilgrims from the B40 and M40 groups, who are selected to perform the haj after making an appeal, have to pay the full haj cost of RM30,850 per person because they were not in the original queue for the haj quota.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Mohd Na'im Mokhtar said the priority of performing the haj this year was given to those listed to perform the pilgrimage in 2020, 2021 and 2022 which were delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
