KUALA LUMPUR – The Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) has suspended three more management officers as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen institutional governance and maintain industry confidence.
CEO Datuk Shamir Aziz stated that the move is a demonstration of the organisation's commitment to managing the nation’s workforce development resources transparently and responsibly.
“We are reinforcing our internal systems to ensure that HRD Corp consistently meets these expectations,” he said in a statement.
Procedure, not punishment
Shamir clarified that the suspensions are part of an internal review procedure and do not imply any proven wrongdoing.
On February 6, HRD Corp had already suspended three senior management members following reports from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), the Auditor-General, and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Among the raised issues were the management of ‘unused levy’, the acquisition of Menara Ikhlas, and equity investment management.
The agency also revealed that the latest suspension followed findings related to the RM14 million New Core System (NCS) project, which has been delayed for over four years after three failed User Acceptance Tests (UAT). - February 21, 2026
