PAC recommends sweeping changes to EMGS after weaknesses detected during investigations

KUALA LUMPUR: Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) recommends sweeping changes to the Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) following weaknesses detected during investigations.

Among the weaknesses include the appointment of the EMGS interim chief executive officer last year, the six-month appointment of a senior EMGS officer who was paid RM71,500 but stationed as a special officer under the Education Ministry and lack of data on foreign students who may have overstayed.
