Human Resources Minister Richard Riot Jaem is at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office in Putrajaya to give his statement regarding the RM40 million misappropriation of Skills Development Fund Corp (PTPK) funds.
Riot arrived at the office about 10am, accompanied by his bodyguard.
Yesterday, the minister's 61-year-old political secretary was remanded for six days to assist investigations into the case, which has also seen four other arrests.
The other suspects are PTPK's chief executive, secretary, assistant financial officer and a director – all of whom allegedly collaborated with the latter to siphon off the allocations over the last two years.
Riot had pledged that his ministry will fully cooperate with the MACC in the matter, and added that a person is innocent until proven guilty.
