PUTRAJAYA: Payments totalling RM423mil for the PenjanaKerjaya programme have been suspended following a probe into allegations of false claims by certain employers and training providers, says the Social Security Organisation (Socso).

Its chief executive Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed said the move was made based on data analysis and continuous monitoring by the organisation's anti-fraud, ethics and integrity division.
