KUALA LUMPUR - Human Resources Minister V. Sivakumar says he will fully cooperate with the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on the management of training funds and effectiveness of the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp).

Sivakumar said he had been called in for the proceedings next Thursday (Nov 2) as HRD Corp was a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLBG) under the supervision of the ministry.

Therefore, he said it was appropriate for him to testify before the PAC on some of the procedures and operations of HRD Corp, which would help in the investigation.

"I have been asked to give an explanation and clarification on the management of funds for training and the effectiveness of the training conducted by the HRD Corp.

"I urge all parties to respect these proceedings and avoid speculation that could prejudice the role of the PAC in this investigation," he said in a statement today.
