00:00Jalutong, HRD Corp. This issue was raised by me in the previous session.
00:07This time, it was raised by Member of Parliament Bagan.
00:10I received the Minister's information on the amount of 2.3 billion,
00:17the amount that was collected by HRD Corp.
00:19And I listened carefully to how this money was used.
00:24I would like to ask, what is the HRD Corp.'s position on the investigation carried out by the SPRM
00:35and the report by the Head of State Audit on the misuse of HRD Corp.'s funds?
00:42At the same time, the public knows that we have discussed this matter
00:48and the HRD Corp.'s executive has been asked to take a garden leave.
00:54But the HRD Corp.'s current position, and another speaker,
01:00now there is information that the salary for the Chief Executive Officer per case of HRD Corp. and Talent Corp.
01:08is between 90,000 and 120,000 a month.
01:14So I would like to ask, if the Chief Executive Officer works without a salary,
01:18indeed the salary can be paid,
01:20but if the Chief Executive Officer per case of HRD Corp. and Talent Corp.
01:24This is my question, I am not making an accusation.
01:27But my question is, have they ever received a salary of 90,000 to 120,000?
01:34I ask for your comment on this matter because it has become a topic of discussion out there.
01:40And I ask for your comment on this matter.
01:43And also the matter that has been raised regarding the investigation on HRD Corp.
01:47This has become a topic of discussion out there.
01:53And I have repeatedly given statements and answers,
02:00not only inside but also outside the court.
02:03So the first question is about the establishment of the SPRM investigation committee.
02:10It is very simple.
02:12It is the committee that made the SPRM report.
02:15The committee and the Chief Executive Officer of HRD Corp.
02:20have been instructed to organize the report of the Chief Executive Officer.
02:26I think this has never happened in history
02:29where a committee has taken such a drastic action
02:34which is to make the SPRM report by ourselves.
02:39Organizing the report of the Chief Executive Officer.
02:42So our opinion is clear.
02:44Of course we have submitted, I have said it several times,
02:47we have submitted to the SPRM and I have stated the reasons for the decision.
02:51Once the decision has been made, no one will be safe.
02:55No matter who it is.
02:57That is my opinion.
02:58Secondly, about the salary issue.
03:01The salary issue was not determined when I became the minister.
03:06That is one.
03:07Secondly, I can give, I can give.
03:10I ask the officers to give a breakdown of the salary so that it does not rise.
03:15Of course he said he would ask questions.
03:17But we also need to be fair to the officers who are not only in the GLC,
03:23but also in the legal bodies.
03:25If we want to attract talent, we must have a good package.
03:32I ask the officers to give to YB Jelotong a list of salaries
03:39that were requested earlier, the legal bodies that were requested earlier
03:43and also the government-related companies that were requested earlier
03:46so that he has the right information and not just hearsay.
