Human Resources Minister V Sivakumar was present at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya yesterday to give his statement following the arrest of several of his officers in connection with a case on the recruitment of foreign workers. 

MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki confirmed this when contacted by Bernama. 

"Yes, the minister (Sivakumar) was asked to be present at MACC to give his statement," he said.

Meanwhile, one of Sivakumar’s aides said the minister was at the MACC headquarters at 10am and left some 30 minutes later.

The MACC recently arrested two of Sivakumar’s senior officers in connection with matters involving the recruitment of foreign workers. 

The minister was reported to have said that he was ready to cooperate with the authorities, especially MACC, over the matter.
