Human Resources Minister Richard Riot Jaem spent about 10 hours at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to assist investigations regarding allegations that RM40 million was misappropriated from Skills Development Fund Corp (PTPK) funds.

Riot was seen entering the building at 10am and existed only at about 8pm.

Yesterday, the minister's 61-year-old political secretary was remanded for six days to assist in the investigations into the case, which has also seen four other arrests.
