HRD Corp suspends three more management members to strengthen governance, internal controls and industry confidence amid ongoing review.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) has suspended three more members of its management team. This action is part of efforts to strengthen institutional discipline and safeguard industry confidence.
Chief executive Datuk Shamir Aziz said the move highlights the organisation’s commitment to raising governance standards. He stated that national workforce development resources must be administered with transparency, efficiency and accountability.
“Strong governance is fundamental to business confidence,” Shamir said. “Employers expect clarity, predictability and disciplined stewardship.”
He stressed that the suspensions are procedural measures to preserve the independence of an ongoing internal review. They do not represent a conclusion of wrongdoing.
The review has identified areas requiring tighter internal controls and clearer reporting structures. Enhanced compliance oversight is also needed.
Corrective enhancements are being implemented to modernise governance frameworks. These changes aim to reinforce accountability mechanisms and streamline administrative processes.
“This reset is about ensuring systems work effectively and responsibly,” Shamir added. He linked the reforms to the MADANI Bekerja principle of governance that delivers.
HRD Corp noted that governance reform is directly linked to Malaysia’s economic competitiveness. Disciplined institutions contribute to stronger talent pipelines and higher productivity.
The organisation reiterated that service continuity remains unaffected. Due process will be observed throughout the review.
Strengthening institutional integrity remains central to sustaining industry trust. This alignment is crucial for workforce development initiatives and national growth priorities.
