He said the government and Lembaga Tabung Haji had agreed to maintain
the rate as a special gift to the pilgrims even though costs,
particularly for accomodation and transport, had risen as compared to
last year.
"Last year the pilgrimage cost per person was RM15,150 and this year
the cost will increase to RM15,555, but on the generosity of Tabung Haji
(TH) through the government, we decided to cap the fee at RM9,980 (for
first time pilgrims)," he told reporters after attending a Tabung Haji
event here Saturday.
On another matter, Jamil Khir said TH would be announcing bonus and dividends due to depositors for 2012 next Thursday.
