Audit report finds abysmal outcome for RM258m spent on skills training for B40

A total of RM258.29 million allocated by the federal government to various agencies between 2016 and 2018 to help organise skills training for the B40 community resulted in poor outcomes as only a third of the targeted participants benefitted from the programmes.

According to the Auditor-General's Report 2018 (Series 3) tabled in the Dewan Rakyat today, only 38.5 percent of the targeted 100,000 participants benefitted from the programme, referred to as "Program Peningkatan Kapasiti dan Kapabiliti Kumpulan Khusus".
