MISAPPROPRIATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES FUND: A FRAUD TRAINING & FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTATION.
________________________________________________________________________
I. Background
A 6-days training of “Professional Diploma in Lean Supply Chain for Healthcare industry ” were conducted by PSMB / HRDF approved certified trainers, from listed training provider namely I-BRILLIANT MOVEMENT SDN BHD. under the funding of 1M GRIP, from the date 8th to 14th August 2015 at IEWM College, Seri Kembangan. The training was conducted by Mr.Nesan Kandiah, Dr.Vizayer and Ms.Sarasa Balaraman.
Based on the said predicament, this fraud training was conducted by above 3 trainers, by recruiting and registering students/employees randomly, just for the sake of securing the fund - solely for financial interest. The attendees were asked to sign under different name and IC number, throughout the training. This unlawful act is unethical and has violated PSMB ACT 2001. The 1MGRIP Fund was mismanaged and misappropriated intentionally, for personal benefits, and it is a criminal offence. This offence has imposed loss in government funds and inhibit the provision of resources among needful group of workers.
II. Executive Summary
I joined the team as a Trainer and I started to conduct my training from 1st August 2015 at U.M. Apart from that, I was asked to do some paper works and power point presentations.
Following tasks were later assigned to me, which aroused my suspicions.
I. To recruit students for their training programs on commission basis.
II. To attend training and sign on behalf of someone else, with different I.C number.
III. To mark bulk assignments of MBA students, and done by external channels. They also provide fake certifications and false evaluation for students.
III. Scope
Their ultimate scope of conducting this training was just to secure the HRDF FUNDS, for personal benefits.
I. The HRDF FUNDS was misappropriated.
II. Falsely registering students, who are not the suitable candidates for that specific course.
The students were recruited and were asked to attend 6 days training in order to obtain Professional Diploma funded by government. They were also been promised to be benefited by salary hike. The students applied unpaid leave, to attend the training. The students were unaware about the eligibility to possess the Professional diploma, as most of them are just SPM leavers. The trainers ensured a salary hike up to RM2000, upon obtaining the Diploma.
On 9th September 2015, a Fake diploma was issued to the students, from unexcisting college from UK, namely CAMBRIDGE GLOBAL LEARNING. The fake diploma were issued at MCDONALD SUBANG PARADE, SUBANG JAYA.
Mr.Nesan Kandiah, introduced 2 Malay men and they were introduced as CEO of IBRILLIANT MOVEMENT SDN BHD. This action is just to prove that Ms.Sarasa is not the actual owner of said company, and she did not turn up on that day.
The two malay man, failed to provide name card, bussiness premise address and landline to any of us upon asking several times.
Mr.Nesan Kandaiah also strictly, demanded that once the Professional Diploma is issued, the Whatsapp conversation group will be Immediately closed. He also demanded us to collect the diplomas for all the students, as another meeting is not possible.
Mr.Nesan Kandaiah also did not gave any options to collect the Professional Diploma at any institute or training premises.
This group of trainers, have few existing training companies at various address:
However they are not ready to reveal or show us their premise to all these students
• Dynamic Learning Resources
• An Edge Consulting SDN BHD
• ATMALINK SDN BHD
• SHREE KNOWLEDGE RESOURCES
• VAHTIQA RESOURCES SDN BHD
• I BRILLIANT MOVEMENT SDN BHD
• PRODIGY ASIA
• MIPMM
Possible reason for misappropriation.
1. The actual student who were suppose to join this training, are actual working Professional, were believed to be the rightful candidate to possess the Professional – But they did not attend the Training. The name list were generated merely to secure the government funds. HRDF / 1MGRIP Fund were approved. However the students attended the training were recruited mostly by Facebook pages and Marketing team.
2. Every students were given different name and IC number, to be registered and to be maintained throughout the training. We were also told that, we have to pass the Inspection by the Inspector from PSMB.
3. The trainers failed to provide their training institutes address, landline, company registration number, and diploma awarding institute.
4. The head of the training was Ms.Sarasa Balaraman ( 0192684188 ) from IBRILLIANT MOVEMENT SDN BHD, AS REGISTERED IN HRDF DEPARTMENT. She is running another training institute at Puchong called, An Edge Consulting SDN BHD, together with Mr.Nesan. They failed to conduct training at registered premise.
5. Dr.Vizayer , my immediate trainer supposedly register me for TTT, employed me on 22nd August 2015 to be a trainer, has instructed me to recruit students to for a FREE DIPLOMA COURSE FUNDED BY GOVERNMENT, and a commission of Rm200.00 will be paid for each student.
( After my research on PSMB / 1MGRIP/ HRDF, I am sure that, this training is conducted against the standard protocol and guidelines set by PSMB & HRDF. I have relevant evidence to proof their manipulations to misuse Government Fund )
IV. Misconduct Approach/ List of offences
• Fraud team members( Ms.Sarasa Balaraman, Dr.Vizayer Raj, Mr.Nesan Kandiah )
• Fraudulent procedures(Registering students with wrong name and IC number )
• Marketing and Recruiting unsuitable candidates for HRDF/1GRIP approved courses.
• Cheating Inspection Officer from HRDF
• Conducted training at not approved premise, not registered premise.
• Issued fake Professional Diploma from unexisting UK Body.
• Produced severe emotional distress & loss of income to attendees.
• Violated Profession and Business ethics.
• Imposed large wastage of government funds.
VI. Summary
This report clearly reflects that these trainers / training providers ( Ms.Sarasa Balaraman, Dr.Vizayer Raj, Mr.Nesan Kandiah ) intentionally committed unacceptable corruption in mishandling HRD funds of PSMB. This irresponsible activity of HRDF certified trainers, has weakened the training and education sector, thereby challenging the human rights.
The future of this country will fail, if these layer of people continue to abuse the power and victimized the people with lack of educations and resources.
VIII. Recommendations
I, am with deep concern, readdressing that the Government fund is getting misappropriated and not reaching the targeted workers and needful people. This issue must be importantly absorbed by authorities and a thor
ough investigation has to be conducted, on the trainers and training providers, reported above. They have failed to hold the authority as a HRDF Certified Trainers, and this dishonesty marks a fall in social equalness.

(MY FIRST REPORT DONE ON 20-9-2015- MAILED AND REPORTED AT HRDF)
2. SECOND REPORT, IN CHRONOLOGICAL FORMAT TO BE SUBMITTED AT PDRM.
CHRONOLOGICAL REPORT ON FRAUD TRAINING BY HRDF CERTIFIED TRAINERS & MISSAPROPRIATION OF FUND.
I WAS ADVISED TO JOIN UNDER VAHTIQA RESOURCES SDN BHD, TO ENROLL FOR MBA, AS A REQUIREMENT TO BE A TRAINER AND TO PAY RM300.00 AS APLLICATION FEE TO BE TRAINER).
22th July 2015
• R.VIZAYER accepted me to be the trainer under him and to register me under him for TTT( Train to be Trainer )
• He gave me first assignment to lecture at UM on 1st and 2nd August - I did not start as I was not trained.
24th July 2015
• He advised me to market students for Diploma in Manufacturing there was a Free diploma course funded by government 100% for only 25 working adults. Pay slip was the only requirement to be eligible for the course. He offered me RM200.00 for each student as commission, and even if I attend.
• I have recruited 4 students, by sending their details and pay slip via email. He needed the applicants pay slip as the main requirement in order to secure free training and diploma.
• The course was scheduled to take place from 3rd to 19th august, 9am to 5pm at Puchong training centre ( AN EDGE CONSULTING SDN BHD ) 16 days course. The diploma awarding body is Euregio University College, Netherlands. Class suppose to take place at following address No86, Jalan BP 7/8, 47100, Bandar Bukit Puchong, Puchong.
28th July 2015
• The course was postponed to 15th August 2015, as he stated in email, the courses run by few training providers, and they are running simultaneously.
• My students who are joining has applied leave in their respected companies on earlier given dates.
• Dr.Vizayer told me, the number of students is the main criteria for HRDF to approve date of training. He said, if date is confirmed and if there is not enough participants, they cant run the training. He needed minimum 25 participants, he wanted me to keep recruiting.
5th August 2015
• Dr.Vizayer emailed to me a sample email send by Mr.Jeyapal Servai from MIPMM to Dr.Vizayer, he stated they have to go through too much technical difficulties in order to get the training approved and clearance from HRDF.
6th August 2015
• Approximately, 10 to 10.30pm, he requested me to help him find students on urgent basis and he also contacted the students I recruited for Diploma in Manufacturing, to attend on 8th August 2015 for another course. He contacted Mr.Maran & Ms.Malini and they took leave in order to attend this course.
• As I was curious, I started to attend from 10th August 2015.
10th August 2015
• We were all given fake name and IC number to be registered and signed. During the training, it was only about passing the inspection from the government. We were all asked to memorize different IC number. We were also given different company names that we are employed currently. The inspector came from HRDF, and we were released and the class was dismissed at 1pm. Mr.Nesan and Dr.Vizayer told us that if we need the diploma, we must sign under given name, so that government will sponsor the diploma. The actual student couldn’t attend.
TRAINERS NAME:
1. MR.NESAN KANDIAH 0196224188
2. DR.VIZAYER RAJ 0162093156
3. SARASA BALARAMAN 0192684188
From this point, I began to research all about HRDF (HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT FUNDS), allocations ,GRIP, listed and approved Training Providers and the courses funded. I believe most applications are done by Employers who fits in certain criteria and Individual personally on the website by downloading the Government forms. I am very confident that this training group are conducting the trainings by not following the actual protocol, set by HRDF.
1. If the awarding body of this Professional Diploma in Lean Supply Chain in Healthcare, is also same as previously mentioned university from UK.
2. If the Diploma is recognized by our government.
3. Why are our names not registered in the attendance form.
4. I need the names to be on black & white
SMS DETAILS SENT BY DR.VIZAYER ON 10TH AUGUST 2015.
1. It was a genuine Diploma from UK and it is recognized by HRDF
2. “Participants are registered for the sake of securing this project.”
3. “These classes are supposed to be run on Saturdays and Sundays only, and actual participants could not attend on Weekdays”.
4. “ if we did not turn up for the training, the project is cancelled”
I decided to continue the course, as I am responsible for two students I recruited and I wanted to learn the subject since it was related to Healthcare and if the Professional Diploma may add advantage to my resume. I told him clearly, that I will go all out to fight, if this training involves Forgery.
14th August 2015
I did not attend the training as there was no training, and Dr.Vizayer has assigned me to prepare 4 presentations for his trainings. The diplomas were not issued. Ms.Sarasa Balaraman, known as the Head of Training, took all students for lunch gathering. Ms.Sarasa were checking our attendances daily via whatsapp group formed by Mr.Nesan Kandiah. She promised to issue us the Diploma within 2 to 7 weeks.
1. They did not comply with the rules set by PSMB to claim HRDF fund.
2. Misused their authority by robbing the education fund allocated by HRDF / government for suitable candidates.
3. Blocked the access of receiving proper training from the target candidates.
4. Impose losses on HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT FUNDS.
5. Recruit students using marketing agent, online marketing and Facebook pages.
6. Irresponsible to function as a certified HRDF Trainer.
7. Induced the students to perform immoral and unlawful act, sign under different NAME and IC NUMBER.
8. Delegate unlawful, immoral and unethical acts to me, who wanted to be a trainer.
