Bank Negara's brave lady of grace

The Bank Negara was never known to be an institution easily manipulated by politicians in power....except of course for that brief period in the late 90s when Anwar Ibrahim was the finance minister. Well, there was that question about the RM3 billion secret piggy bank, remember?

As it was, when the whole jig was up with Anwar's arrest at that time, the whole thing collapsed. And when Dr Mahathir instituted the monetry control policies to save the country, the then Bank Negara governor resigned, citing his lack of confidence with what the handsome old man was doing.

That's when Zeti Akhtar Aziz took over and without much fuss set things in order.The whole plan of Dr Mahathir worked out brilliantly and Malaysia as we know it then stays as it was, fine and dandy.

Zeti has since developed a reputation of being a super efficient iron lady of Bank Negara. The most amazing thing was that she remains graceful, gentle, soft spoken and mostly unassuming.


Yet, her no nonsense ways was what most of us admire her for. No body mess around with Bank Negara, these days.

And today putting aside potential political backlash, Zeti and her people moved in to arrest PKR's wonderboy strategist extraordinare Rafizi. They charged him under the Banking and Financial Institution Act for allegedly disclosing confidential banking details related to the NFC issue. Of course the Pakatan crowd may now lable Zeti as an Umno stooge for taking action against such a heroic and handsome boy. But, the law is the law, and if you break it for your political gains, then you have to pay for it. We can't afford to have people running around breaking Bafia without any action taken. That will destroy the confidence people have of our financial institutions. And for those who think Rafizi is a hero, do remember that the NFC issue was brought upon by the Auditor General Report, issued by the evil galactic empire of BN government.

Whatever it is, salute for Zeti and her Bank Negara people for acting without fear nor favour.

  1. Yeah, she's quite a lady, something rare these days. Lembut budi bahasa dan sederhana dalam dressing etc which is rather classy sexy too. Too many gedik desperado ladies in slut wear even if tudunged thinking they are the deal.... which is very pathetic!!

  2. Yeah agree, she is an brilliant economist to helm Bank Negara. At least she has worked tirelesly to bring the Malaysian currency to third world standard.

    You want to talk about a brilliant Bank Negara govenor- that man was Tun Ismail. During his time even the Ringgit was afraid to fall.

  6. Rafizi will be a hero once the trial gets reported. How he demanded that Shahreezat come clean on the condos and other things. She kept insisting it's her husband's company. Slowly, the condos in Bangsar were exposed, then the condos in Singapore, then the supermarket in Singapore. Then it was exposed that Meatworks was owned by the family members, not by NFC. The family bought land, bought cars, went on trips - all on NFC funds.

    They charged Shamshulbahrin for cheating, but they never charged the chairman of NFC for giving him the money supposedly to bribe the police.

    So now, the wrongdoing is public knowledge, and MAAC has no choice but to make some token charges. After that, go after the whistleblower. Make sure you intimidate people into making public the truth.

    1. Do you know BAFIA ? Orang cakap lain u cakap lain. Dah sama macam Anwar ,bicara sebab liwat tapi hujah sebab konspirasi politik. Rafizi dedah maklumat yg privasi. So do you agree if your bank statement to be published rata rata. Read BAFIA first la bro sebelum komen...

      I agree NFC kena siasat on criminal charges as Directors breach of trust and I agree Rafizi to be charged under Bafia for revealing private info.

    2. I have no problem for my bank account to be made public. I have nothing to hide from my wife or from the taxman. BAFIA is being used to hide criminals. You and I are nobody and nobody is interested in our accounts.

      If Rafizi published the accounts, but the NFC accusations turn out to be false, then he should be charged under BAFIA. The NFC directors can also charge him with libel and slander. In this case, Rafizi did all of us a favour by ensuring that the accounts were frozen, and the misuse of public funds was accurate.

    3. So, you don't mind people ask you where you get all those money in your account? You don't mind people to know how much you earn every month? And are you certain that you don't mind criminals out there, knowing how much is in your account, plan to rob or cause grievance to you or your family? Reveal your ATM PIN and online banking password then if you don't mind all this.

      It's not the matter of nobody vs somebody. It's a matter of confidentiality and safety.

      The end does not justify the means. If he's truly sincere in exposing the cow-gate scandal, he would have followed the proper channel with minimal exposure to the media. That is more professional. What I see now is he does it mostly for political gains, which is rather despicable.

    4. anon 5:15 you know how the bank work ? why he should not charge if NFC accusations to be true , and he should report first laa not go to public and made media conference , i know the kind of ur people will not believed in authority , thats ur attitude and perception problem laa . u think the clerk dont got money from rafizi?? of coz laa if he said NO , if not he and rafizi will be more trouble .BAFIA is not made for criminals to hiding , you thinks Malaysian bank like switzeland kaa?? hahaha

      You knw what , that not the misuse of public funds , its just a soft loan , if they want to buy a condo a porsche that not the problem as long the project still going on and NFC paid the monthly payments . the accounts was frozen is easy for SPRM to investigate .

      if you want talking about misuse of public funds is more likely when Selangor goverment want to support rafizi financially .

      "You knw what , that not the misuse of public funds , its just a soft loan , if they want to buy a condo a porsche that not the problem as long the project still going on and NFC paid the monthly payments ."

      Hello, soft loan dari mana ? From a commercial bank ? This loan comes from MoF which is rakyat's money. Buy a condo ? Berapa condo dia beli di Bangsar dan Singapore ? Modal untuk bisnes sendiri iaitu supermarket di Singapore, Meatworks di KL dan Singapore - dari mana dia dpt wang tu ? Beli tanah di Putrajaya - untuk ternakan lembu ke ?

      The project was awarded to them to increase self-sufficiency in local beef production, bukan untuk orang tu beli hartanah persendirian. Kalau tak paham, balik lah ke bawah tempurung.

      aiyoo duduk bawah tempurung kaa? lu cakap satu apa pun taktau . so if the soft loan from anywhere , its still the loan laa , as long NFC paid their loan and follow the agreement there is no case actually . You know what about profit kaa soo all the time NFC management got no salary meehh hahaha quite funny laa , you questioned about meatworks? that selling a quality meat !! , hahaha thats why laa people like you would never got soft loan .

      Reality is NFC got many working feedlot and all on they schedule. If NFC got nothing to show there is a problem laa .. so easy maa .

      If you want talk about rakyat money you should go looking at Selangor who will setup financially to support rafizi who's breaking the law , money out but no money in ,just to support the wrongdoing of their party members. Not to mention about Talam some more laa more than 1 billion scandal . If Pakatan think BAFIA law only for criminal to hiding , just come clean and put in Buku Lucah ehh Buku Jingga to abolish the BAFIA act and we will see what next hahaha

      anon 15.14 - good point there , pak lah is the only regime DAP like

Name it Malaysia has it- water, rubber, cheap labour, oil, manufacturing and Sinkapore has nothing but MIGHTY Sink dollar? Why BNM sleeping?

    1. Didn't you know RM was heavily attacked by speculators in the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis that the currency lost so much value BNM had to peg it to USD for stability purposes? Have you been sleeping in your history class? Or did they teach you this in school? I guess not.

      Please ask Big cat, for many years, Sink people always go to Johor to makan and main2 and enjoy where malaians go cannot enjoy but there to cari makan. Skudai airport try to get business from Sink but still koyat.

  13. Rafizi had bank statements proving the guilt of a family of thieves. He gave the family a chance to come clean with their actions. They refused. He asked the authorities to act, the authorities didn't act. So he released the bank statements which forced the authorities to act and charge the head of the family for money laundering and CBT.

    Rafizi is a hero. YOu can charge him with BAFIA and all sorts of traffic offences. We will support him. We will pay for the costs of his defence. Let the court case be publicised.
