00:00HRD Corp's use of Employer Levy collections for investments did not align with the fund's

00:09original purpose.

00:11This is what Malaysian Trades Union Congress Secretary-General Kamarul Baharin Mansoor

00:17said after it was found that RM3.77 billion from Employer Levy's collection had been

00:24used for investments.

00:26Kamarul said this move has indirectly affected efforts to enhance workers' skills nationwide,

00:32Sinah Haryan reported.

00:34He called the Public Accounts Committee's finding shocking and disappointing, saying

00:39that those funds should have been used for training programs.

00:43Kamarul said he hoped the matter would be thoroughly investigated so it does not happen

00:47again.

00:48He also said some union members revealed that they have worked at a company for 10 years

00:54but have never been sent to any skill enhancement courses.

00:59In response, Kamarul suggested that HRD Corp open applications for training programs to

01:04trade unions and employees, instead of just being through employers.
