Grants for Indians abused


PUTRAJAYA: Grants amounting to millions of ringgit channelled to hundreds of non-governmental organisations (NGO) to help the Indian community were misused and a part of it taken up for “personal gain.”

Checks by the National Audit Department showed that the funds were allocated through Sedic (Socioeconomic Development of the Indian Community), a unit set up by the previous Barisan Nasional government and placed under the Prime Minister’s Depart­ment.
