Tycoon slams BNM governor’s indifference on loan moratoriums

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) governor Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus should “go down to the ground” and understand the dire situation faced by businesses when commenting on the loan moratorium issue, says a prominent tycoon.

“It is morally wrong that banks are profiteering from the difficulties of their borrowers to the tune of billions,” Business Survival Group adviser Ameer Ali Mydin told FMT.

“BNM should not just be looking after banks and making sure they are healthy. They should keep an eye out for the whole country as well.”

Ameer was commenting on Nor Shamsiah’s remarks yesterday that a full waiver on interest during the loan moratorium will result in “serious negative consequences” for banks and more difficulties for the people.
