KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar has denied that the Bank Negara Malaysia governor is being investigated by police over the 1Malaysia Development Bhd issue.
“Not by us,” Khalid told reporters when asked whether Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz was being probed by police.
Khalid said this during a press conference at the Royal Malaysia College here yesterday.
BNM has also denied rumours that Zeti suffered a heart attack.
“She is fine and came to work as usual,” said a BNM spokesman when contacted by The Star.
A news portal earlier claimed that the 67-year-old apparently did not turn up for work on Monday.
Rumours are also claiming that Zeti, a member of the special taskforce investigating 1MDB, has resigned as BNM governor.
