A team of five officers from the anti-graft agency arrived at HRD Corp’s office at 11.30am, Sinar Harian reported.

It is believed that they seized documents linked to the findings in the auditor-general’s (A-G) report.

The 2024 A-G’s report, released last week, found that HRD Corp had failed to carry out its responsibility to collect RM205.42 million in mandatory levies owed by 21,058 employers.

HRD Corp also amended its key performance indicator goals for 2020 to 2023 without the approval of its board of directors.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meanwhile revealed that the company’s investment panel had not reported its investment activities appropriately to its board of directors, with levies collected “aggressively” used for high-risk investments.

On Saturday, MACC said it would seize documents from the human resources ministry and HRD Corp related to the company’s spending.

MACC deputy chief commissioner (operations) Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya said several issues had been identified that required documents and statements from the parties involved, including investments and funds management.

He said the probe would be conducted under Sections 18 and 23 of the MACC Act 2009 for making false claims.

Meanwhile, Berita Harian reported that another MACC team visited the human resources ministry at around 11.20am.

Officers were seen an hour later, leaving with bags containing documents believed to be linked to HRD Corp.

On Friday, human resources minister Steven Sim said the ministry would file a report with MACC over the PAC and national audit findings involving HRD Corp.
