Travel firm’s haj pilgrimage licence suspended


KUALA LUMPUR: Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) has suspended the licence of Emraz Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd, a haj pilgrimage operator, in a move to protect the welfare of prospective pilgrims.

TH said the decision was taken following several public complaints about the umrah services provided by the company.

“Prospective pilgrims who choose to perform the haj through a private package can still choose from another 22 licensed companies, including TH’s subsidiary TH Travel & Services Sdn Bhd,” it said in a statement yesterday.

It added that TH constantly monitors the performance of licensed haj pilgrimage operators, including their umrah services.

TH said it would not hesitate to take action to protect pilgrims’ welfare. — Bernama
