HRD Corp

SEOUL (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics estimated on Friday a more than 15-fold rise in its second-quarter operating profit, as rebounding semiconductor prices driven by the artificial intelligence boom lifted earnings from a low base a year ago.

KUALA LUMPUR: Suspicious real estate deals and high-risk investments were some of the issues identified by the Public Accounts Committee in its report on Human Resources Development Corporation .

“The agreement was a sales and purchase agreement, but the contents of the agreement was a lease to purchase agreement,” said the PAC in its report released yesterday. Also under scrutiny was the purchase of Blok A, Sutera Avenue, in Kota Kinabalu for RM16mil, in which the purchase was not tabled in HRD Corp’s board meeting.

“Besides that, HRD Corp’s investments in the ‘put and call’ option is considered high risk,” it added.
