Probe Zeti over 1MDB funds, says Wong Chen
PETALING JAYA: Subang MP Wong Chen of PKR has called for investigations into former central bank chief Zeti Akhtar Aziz after it was confirmed that RM65 million of 1MDB-linked funds were held by a company belonging to her husband.
Wong said that under Zeti’s watch as governor of Bank Negara Malaysia, the central bank failed to carry out its fiduciary duty to alert and report the illicit movement of billions of 1MDB money.
If Zeti had done her job without fear or favour, the scandal could have been stopped and contained, he said.
“There is no doubt that MACC (the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) and Bank Negara need to fully investigate Zeti,” he told FMT.
