Earlier, a report by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) revealed that the MACC probe found no wrongdoing in the governance matters of HRD Corp.
Through a report presented in the Dewan Rakyat today, the issue at hand was stated by MACC investigating officer Mohd Fuad Sedet during the PAC meeting proceedings on October 23.
In July, it was reported that MACC investigated HRD Corp after the 2024 Auditor General’s Report revealed that several decisions made by the corporation were allegedly not in compliance with procedures and not safeguarding the interests of the company’s establishment functions.
The anti-graft buster’s disclosure clearing HRD Corp of any wrongdoing came less than a month after its Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Shahul Hameed Shaik Dawood reportedly took leave voluntarily in July and has since returned to work.
