HRD Corp said the suspension of the trio was also linked to the recent discovery of a RM14 million procurement that had seen a four-year delay. PETALING JAYA: Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) has suspended three members of its top management following various reports flagging alleged mismanagement involving the trio. HRD Corp said the reports were released by Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), the auditor-general (A-G) as well as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. It added that this concerned the management of the government-linked company’s (GLC) unutilised levies, the acquisition of Menara Ikhlas and HRD Corp’s equity investment management. HRD Corp said it also involved the recent discovery of a “new core system” which entailed a RM14 million procurement that had seen a four-year delay after three unsuccessful user acceptance tests. “For this purpose, HRD Corp will implement an internal investigation process that is transparent and conducted with integrity, with a clear mandate, scope and terms of reference,” said HRD Corp CEO Shamir Aziz.
