[UPDATED] MACC confirms document seizure in HRD Corp probe

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today confirmed that it has obtained several documents to facilitate its investigation into the Human Resources Development Corporation (HRD Corp).

The MACC, in a statement, said the commission obtained documents from the Human Resources Ministry and HRD Corp related to issues highlighted recently in the Auditor General's report.

The main focus of the investigation, the commission said, is directed towards elements of criminality under the MACC Act 2009.

"It must be explained that the MACC will not focus its investigation on issues related to the weaknesses of the management and non-compliance since the matter has already been explained by the HRD Corp management during the exit conference with the National Audit Department," the statement said.

The MACC also urged all parties to provide the commission with sufficient space and time to carry out investigation into the case without any interference.

Earlier today, MACC officers spent nearly six hours at the HRD Corp.

Arriving in four vehicles at around 11.30am, they entered the building on Jalan Beringin and were seen leaving around 5.45pm with three cardboard boxes on a trolley.

The boxes were loaded into the vehicles before the officers departed.

The visit was conducted to collect documents related to issues highlighted in the latest AG's report.
