Since the HRD Act's implementation in 1992, companies in Malaysia have been mandated to allocate 1% of their monthly payroll to the Human Resource Development Fund for employee training by registered training providers. Despite 300 providers registered by 1999, evaluation practices remain largely informal and ad hoc. Common evaluation methods include trainee feedback, interviews, and performance analysis. Although there is some level of commitment to evaluation, the approach lacks systematization. This study addresses key questions regarding the seriousness of providers towards evaluation and the rationality behind their methods.
