KUALA LUMPUR: A team of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers went to Human Resources Development Corporation's (HRD Corp) headquarters today.
The graft busters arrived around noon in four vehicles.
They are there to collect documents linked to issues highlighted in the latest Auditor General's Report.
On Saturday, MACC deputy chief commissioner (operations) Datuk Seri Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya said a special task force is probing the findings in the AG's Report.
These include issues related to investments, fund management and training, property purchases, and others.
HRD Corp is an agency under the Human Resources Ministry.
Last week, the AG's report highlighted that a training programme involving 3,726 participants, some of who attended it up to 16 times, cost HRD Corp RM51.69 million.
Separately, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in a separate inquiry found that HRD Corp used RM3.77 billion in levies collected from employers for training development programmes to make several different investments.
This is despite the fact that it is not an investment institution.
Subsequently, Human Resources Minister Steven Sim instructed the ministry's secretary-general Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud and HRD Corp chief executive Datuk Shahul Dawood, to prepare the reports to be submitted to the MACC regarding the findings.
At the time of publishing, the MACC officers were still at HRD Corp's headquarters.
