PUTRAJAYA: The Human Resources Ministry has filed a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the audit findings on the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp).

Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud said the report was lodged at MACC headquarters here on Friday (July 5), following the Auditor-General’s and Public Accounts Committee’s (PAC) reports which were tabled in Parliament the day before.

Speaking at a press conference at the ministry on Friday, Khairul Dzaimee said he had also submitted the audit findings to the MACC.

“The report was made on the instructions of the minister (Steven Sim)," he said.

HRD Corp chief executive Datuk Shahul Dawood also attended the press conference.

“The MACC has assured that a fair investigation will be conducted as soon as possible,” Khairul Dzaimee said.

No HRD Corp officer had been suspended pending investigations, he added.

Suspicious real estate deals and high-risk investments were some of the issues identified by the PAC in its report on HRD Corp.

One such deal was the purchase of Menara Ikhlas for RM202.5mil in February 2021, where a deposit of RM120mil was paid up front to a company named Crystal Clear Technology.
