00:00in HRDF and how will you step out corruption?
00:04Certain steps have been taken currently in HRDF
00:08For example, there is a restructuring which is going on
00:11I think it's common knowledge or public knowledge that the CEO
00:16we have changed the CEO, we have brought in a new CEO
00:20Most people do not know the CEO that we have brought in
00:23because I think he's before this been in Amanah Ikhtiah
00:28He's been there for 8 years long before I was in Kuskop
00:32previously as the Deputy Minister over there
00:34So if you look at his achievements while he's been there in Amanah Ikhtiah
00:39Dato' Syameh has brought Amanah Ikhtiah from whatever it was prior to 2018
00:46As of from 2019 to 2024, the non-repayment rate for Amanah Ikhtiah was 99.98%
00:55So you only have a 0.02% NPL
00:59And last year, 100% repayment
01:03So he's a guy who makes sure things are delivered, everything is run proper
01:09I mean you can imagine you're dealing with hundreds of thousands of borrowers
01:14and you can achieve 100% repayment rate
01:17This is not only the quality of him being able to show his administrative skills
01:22but how he actually runs the sahabat which is the members of Amanah Ikhtiah
01:28and how he creates that family values inside there
01:31One of the main things that I think you can see in HRD Corp
01:35Of course there were a lot of issues
01:37but slowly we are bringing it to where it's supposed to be
01:41Under the Madani framework, governance and responsible business is very important
01:50One of the other things that we have done also, into the board
01:54that we will be including, we haven't made the announcement yet
01:57but it will happen very soon
01:59We are putting in people who are very strict
02:02in making sure all the guidelines are followed
02:05Also, one of the things I can briefly let you know about
02:10is that currently, we have about 7,000
02:147,000 training providers
02:17registered certified training providers
02:20We are going to make sure we do another check
02:24to make sure that this 7,000
02:27do a reapplication again
02:29Of course I will leave this to the CEO of HRD Corp
02:32on how he wants to do it
02:33but this is one of the things that was briefed to me
02:35This 7,000 will be recertified
02:38So those who are not properly certified
02:41For example, we don't know what company they belong to
02:45We don't have a trainer which is registered and certified
02:49All of these gaps will make sure are plugged
02:52So these are the small, small steps that we are taking
02:55to make sure there is good governance
