SHAH ALAM - The Human Resources Ministry will give its full cooperation to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) after one of its aide was detained.

In a statement, Human Resources Minister V Sivakumar said he is aware of the arrest of his aide by MACC.

"Since the matter is still under investigation by the MACC, I cannot comment.

"The Human Resources ministry and I will give full cooperation to the investigation body if needed," he said in a statement.

MACC detained Sivakumar's senior officer this morning.

It is learnt that the arrest is in connection with allegations that the suspect had set up a foreign worker recruitment agency to obtain approval from the ministry despite having a conflict of interest.

It is also learnt that there were other individuals detained to assist in the probe.
