TH Media Team Concludes Coverage Of 1446H/2025M Haj Season, Returns Home Today
MAKKAH, June 15 (Bernama) -- After 53 days of tireless reporting, Tabung Haji's (TH) media operations for the 1446H/2025M haj season officially concluded today, marking the end of an extensive coverage mission by 14 committed media practitioners.
The TH media personnel not only carried out reporting duties in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, but also had the opportunity to perform the haj, making the assignment a sacred mission filled with trust, responsibility, and spiritual reflection.
Malaysian Haj Delegation head Mohd Hisham Harun expressed his deep appreciation for the commitment and dedication of the media team, describing them as the backbone of communication throughout this year's haj season.
'I found the coverage carried out by the media personnel to be excellent and effective, receiving an overwhelming response, especially on social media platforms.
'It allowed Malaysians to closely follow the atmosphere and developments involving their family members in the holy city of Makkah during the pilgrimage,' he told reporters.
Meanwhile, Astro Awani executive editor Zaiful Ariffin described the opportunity to report on the haj as a great trust placed upon him and his fellow media practitioners in their efforts to deliver accurate, comprehensive and heartfelt information to Malaysians.
'May we all attain a 'mabrur' haj, and at the same time, as media practitioners, we have managed to convey information about the pilgrims in the holy land,' he said.
All TH media personnel will depart from King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah at 7.45 am local time Sunday and are expected to arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 10.15 pm the same day, Malaysian time.

Malaysian Downs 978 Cups Of CHAGEE In 30 Days To Win Travel Voucher
Subscribe to our FREE In what might be the most caffeinated quest for free vacation ever documented, a Malaysian man has shocked the internet. He consumed 978 cups of bubble tea in just 30 days – all to win a travel voucher worth RM15,999. The epic tea marathon unfolded during CHAGEE's cup challenge promotion, which ran from 18 June to 18 July. The rules were simple: whoever bought the most cups would win the grand prize. What nobody expected was for someone to take it this seriously. The Numbers Don't Lie (But They're Hard to Believe) Let's break down the math that's got everyone talking. This bubble tea champion – identified only as 'Leo' on the leaderboard – managed to average 32.6 cups per day. That's one cup every 45 minutes, around the clock, for an entire month. Using CHAGEE's cheapest menu item at RM11.90 per cup, Leo dropped at least RM11,648.20 to win a prize worth RM15,999 potentially. Even accounting for bulk discounts or promotions, we're talking about a serious financial commitment to liquid sugar and tapioca pearls. The Internet Has Questions Social media exploded with reactions ranging from impressed to concerned. 'Are his feet still okay?' asked one worried commenter, while another joked, 'I'm afraid I'll win but won't have feet left to travel abroad.' Others speculated about the logistics: Was this a corporate bulk purchase? A group effort among friends? A party planning gone wild? The mystery deepened when people realised the sheer physical impossibility of one person actually drinking that much tea. The leaderboard shows Leo claiming the top spot with 978 cups, followed by 'CHA' with 735 cups and 'Faz' with 557 cups. The competition was clearly fierce, but Leo's commitment was in a league of its own. By the Book, But Beyond Belief According to CHAGEE's terms and conditions, the competition was straightforward: rankings were 'based on the total number of qualifying cups purchased via the Only paid orders through the official app counted – no freebies, no discounts with zero payment, and cancelled orders were voided. Even 100th place required a minimum of 37 cups to qualify for seven free regular milk teas, showing that this wasn't just about one obsessed individual, but a genuinely competitive field. What makes this story remarkable isn't that someone bent the rules – it's that they didn't need to. CHAGEE's official promotion created the perfect storm: a valuable grand prize, transparent leaderboard tracking, and no purchase limits. Leo simply took the challenge more seriously than anyone anticipated. The promotion has since ended, and Leo presumably has his travel voucher. His current tea consumption levels remain unknown.
