The Human Resources Development Corporation (HRD Corp) spent RM1.5 million renovating a community centre in Tapah, Perak because it was in then human resources minister M Saravanan’s parliamentary constituency.

This is according to HRD Corp chief executive Shahul Hamid Shaik Dawood, who testified as such at the bipartisan parliamentary Public Accounts Committee.
