All 25 haj operators will offer Rahmah Package at below RM50,000, says TH


KUALA LUMPUR: All 25 licenced haj pilgrimage operators have agreed to continue offering the Rahmah Package at below RM50,000 this year, says Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) executive director.

Datuk Seri Syed Saleh Syed Abdul Rahman said the 25 companies had assured that they would comply with the government's request to offer this package to prospective pilgrims who opt not to perform the pilgrimage through the TH Muassasah package.

"TH has requested them to organise the Rahmah Package as they did last year. Alhamdulilah, they have all agreed. Haj organisers play a crucial role in assisting prospective pilgrims by providing packages at reasonable prices, and each one of them will offer the Rahmah Package, along with other available packages.

"If we consider the full payment for Muassasah pilgrims last year, it amounted to RM30,850. Therefore, those opting through pilgrimage operators only need to add a little more for the Rahmah Package," he told the media at the pre-launch of the 2024 Haj, Umrah and Tourism Carnival on Monday (Jan 15).

Meanwhile, he advised pilgrims selected this year only to consider the packages offered by the 25 licenced Haj organisers to avoid becoming victims of fraud.

"We do not want any pilgrim to be deceived or receive services less than what has been promised," he said, adding that TH assesses companies based on their credibility, financial standing, effective management and substantial experience before selecting them as pilgrimage operators.

Syed Saleh added that TH would soon announce the price or payment for the Muassasah package and issue offer letters to those selected to perform their pilgrimage this year. – Bernama
