Crucial Distribution Mechanics
  • Monthly Minimum Calculation: Dividends are strictly derived from your lowest net balance recorded each month (from January 1st to December 31st) rather than your closing balance. [1, 2]
  • Hajj Bonus Rules: Past historical "Hajj Bonuses" were capped exclusively at a maximum deposit of RM9,980 and reserved solely for depositors who had not yet performed their pilgrimage. [1]
  • Interesting, an all-time peak yield of 9.50%, in the years 1994 to 1997!
  • An all-time low of 1.25% after the debacle and restructuring after Pakatan Harapan tookj over the government after GE14 in 2018!
  • After the restructuring and under the new leadership of the chairman, the board of directors, and a professional, competent management team, LTH returned to a stronger and more sustainable footing through the implementation of strategic plans, reforms, and improved governance, all without government interference.

  • So it looks like the LTH can be a going concern under proper management and without the interference of politicians.
  •  TH depositors ask the same question: why is the dividend lower than what EPF or ASB offers? The answer lies in three key differences.

    First, investment structure. EPF and ASB prioritise maximum returns through equities, bonds, real estate, and global financial instruments. TH, on the other hand, maintains strict Shariah compliance, investing conservatively to ensure high liquidity for Hajj withdrawals. This means lower risk, but also lower returns.

    Second, zakat payments. TH pays 2.5775% zakat on behalf of depositors, ensuring their savings are clean. In contrast, EPF and ASB do not automatically deduct zakat, leaving individual depositors to handle it themselves.

    Third, the balance between returns and social responsibility. TH isn’t just about wealth accumulation — it’s about wealth with barakah. Yes, EPF and ASB might offer higher returns, but TH provides a different kind of value: spiritual security. Every sen in TH is guaranteed halal, and depositors benefit from knowing their savings contribute to zakat distributions that support the less fortunate.
