PETALING JAYA:
Human resources minister V Sivakumar has been summoned to appear before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Monday, says a source.

According to the source, Sivakumar is being called to answer PAC’s inquiry into the management and finances of the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp).

The source said another individual, a representative from the finance ministry, has also been called to appear before the PAC on the same day.

Last week, PAC chairman Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said the committee will begin its proceedings on HRD Corp’s training programmes and management of funds.

She said although the issue was not reported in the 2022 Auditor-General’s Report, the PAC could invoke its powers under the Dewan Rakyat’s Standing Order 77(1)(d) to investigate the matter.
