PUTRAJAYA: Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Richard Riot spent nearly 10 hours at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters today. "I came just to assist the MACC in their investigation, that’s all," he told reporters before he got into his car at about 8pm. When asked why it took so long to have his statement recorded, Riot replied: "Biasalah (it is normal)." He was being investigated under Section 17 (a) of the MACC Act 2009 for giving or accepting gratification by agent. The SDFC was established in June 2006 under the Skills Development Fund Act 2004 (Act 640) to manage the Skills Development Fund, which was previously run by the Skills Development Fund Division under the Human Resources Ministry.
