Not BNM’s business to check on individual accounts, Zeti tells court FMTNews FMTEng

Former Bank Negara Malaysia governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz said Najib Razak did not raise any questions on the source of funds that went into his four AmBank accounts.

She said due diligence required to be carried out on the legitimacy of funds entering into customers’ accounts lies with the banks and other financial institutions, adding that this is the practice worldwide. “BNM will then inform the law enforcement authorities like MACC or police. We cannot inform anyone else, including the account holder,” she said.

Zeti said BNM officers conducted a raid at AmBank on July 6, 2015, where they found out that the bank had omitted reporting several transactions of funds into Najib’s account.
