MACC monitoring over, but HRD Corp must now show results from RM2b training levies, says MEF

The Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) has called on the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) to focus on skills development, training quality, and measurable workplace outcomes following the conclusion of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) governance monitoring. MEF Senior Advisor for Government, Media and International Engagement Datuk Syed Hussain Syed Husman praised the efforts of Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan and HRD Corp CEO Datuk Shamir Abdul Aziz to address governance concerns, but stressed that the reform process must continue.

HRD Corp, which manages levy collections of approximately RM2 billion, should shift its focus from merely collecting levies and conducting training programmes to equipping businesses with necessary skills, improving workers' competencies and productivity, and ensuring that training investments generate measurable returns.
