Zeti should answer allegations against her family, says Maicci president
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7, 2015:
The Malaysian Associated Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Maicci) has called on Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) governor Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz to refute the serious allegations made against her on social media.
According to a report by The Star, Maicci president Tan Sri K.K. Eswaran said allegations of Zeti’s family members awarded government contracts via unethical means have been circulating online.
“When allegations are made against the Prime Minister on social media, everyone says he has to clear it.
“But why isn’t anyone questioning her about the allegations?” he was quoted as saying in a press conference following the association’s management meeting yesterday.
In addition Eswaran also called for the authorities to take stern action against various media that publishes news which purposely undermines Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s leadership.
“Whoever have written unnecessary articles and admitted to have bought stolen documents must be taken to task and investigated,” he was quoted as saying while adding that Maicci backs Najib as the association is confident that he will be cleared of all charges.
Eswaran’s response came in the heels after several blogs posted numerous details involving Zeti’s husband Datuk Tawfiq Ayman and son, Alif Ayman allegedly involved in corruption activities over government contracts.
Additionally, Zeti as well as several BNM officials were also implicated in these blogs for allegedly being involved in a plot to topple Najib from his post.
The blogs also claimed that the parties involved are being investigated under Section 124 of the Penal Code for activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy
However, last week, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar denied rumours that Zeti is being investigated.
