1MDB: After five years, ‘silence is still golden’ as far as Zeti is concerned!
KUALA LUMPUR, July 5, 2026: Five years ago, Free Malaysia Today (FMT) posted a news report that Singapore police first raised the alert in 2015, when Zeti Akhtar Aziz was governor of the central bank (Bank Negara Malaysia - BNM).
Singapore police informed BNM of suspicious transactions involving a company owned by the husband and son of Zeti, with the funds coming from accounts linked to Low Taek Jho, known as Jho Low.
FMT had quoted TheEdge financial weekly in the report.
Five years after the report, “silence is still golden” as the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) pretend nothing had happened.
No action whatsoever has been taken? Singapore police is nonsense?
So much for this: The Vibes - PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has claimed that political rivals are united in trying to bring down his administration because of its uncompromising stance against corruption and abuse of power.(see full report below).
In Malaysia, as long as remain influential and useful to the corridors of power, you are immune to justice.

BNM knew of funds going into Zeti’s husband’s account from Jho Low in Singapore, says report
5 years ago
Singapore police first raised the alert in 2015, when Zeti Akhtar Aziz was governor of the central bank.
Singapore police have confirmed that Iron Rhapsody Ltd, a company belonging to Zeti Akhtar Aziz’s husband and son, received funds from Jho Low’s companies.
PETALING JAYA: Singapore police had informed Bank Negara of suspicious transactions involving a company owned by the husband and son of its former governor, with the funds coming from accounts linked to Low Taek Jho, known as Jho Low, according to a news report.
The Edge said according to documents it had sighted, the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) had shared this information with the central bank in 2015 and 2016.
Bank Negara governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz was the governor of the central bank when this information was relayed to it.
This involved suspicious funds going into the account of Iron Rhapsody Ltd, which it confirmed was owned by her husband, Dr Tawfiq Ayman, and a son who was not named.
The account was with the UBS bank in Singapore.

“Several inflows of funds into this account triggered a suspicious transaction report (STR), that took place in 2008 and 2009. But Bank Negara was only alerted in 2015 and 2016.
“Soon after this, investigators in Malaysia, Switzerland and the US launched probes into the theft and laundering of billions of dollars that belonged to 1MDB.
“The probes were triggered by exposés published from March 2015 by The Edge, Sarawak Report and The Wall Street Journal,” the report said.
According to documents shared by Singapore’s CAD with Malaysian investigators, Iron Rhapsody received a total of US$16.22 million (RM66 million) from companies/bank accounts of Low. They involved five transactions.
The source of four of the transactions, it added, involved funds from profits from Low and his cohorts from the RM5 billion 1MDB/TIA (Terengganu Investment Authority) bonds arranged by Ambank in 2009.
“Low and others, via Aktis Capital Pte Ltd, Acme Time and Country Group Private Securities Ltd, made more than RM600 million in profits from this.
“Besides this, Tawfiq and Low were also believed to have been partners in a company that Low set up in July 2007 called Abu Dhabi Kuwait Malaysia (ADKMIC),” the report said.
It added documents also showed that ex-BSI banker Yak Yew Chee, had told CAD that when ADKMIC was incorporated, there were six to seven shareholders, including Low and Tawfiq. Yak was jailed in Singapore for abetting Low in criminal transactions.
“CAD probes found that between June 2011 and September 2013, US$153 million (RM620 million) were transferred to ADKMIC’s bank account in RBS Coutts, Singapore from Goodstar Ltd’s bank account in RBS Coutts, Switzerland.
“Goodstar is owned by Low and received US$700 million illegally from the RM5 billion 1MDB/TIA bonds issue with the help of Ambank,” it said.
It reported that the government-guaranteed bond paid a hefty coupon of 5.75% and were sold at a discount by Ambank to Low and collaborators via companies in Singapore and Bangkok.
Bank Negara, in a reply to The Edge, said it was unable to respond to its queries on this matter as it “was bound by the international protocol for sharing financial intelligence”.
The paper has also written to Zeti for her comment and is awaiting a reply.

Siasatan 1MDB di Singapura diketuai terutamanya oleh tapi hairan ya...nama Najib sekali pun tak timbul.
1. Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) – agensi penyiasatan jenayah yang menyiasat kesalahan jenayah kewangan.
2. Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) – pengawal selia sektor kewangan yang menyiasat bank dan institusi kewangan berhubung kegagalan mematuhi peraturan pencegahan pengubahan wang haram (AML) serta pelanggaran kawal selia.
3. Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) – bertanggungjawab mendakwa kesalahan jenayah berdasarkan hasil siasatan yang dijalankan oleh CAD.
Hasil siasatan di Singapura termasuk:
* Penutupan operasi BSI Bank dan Falcon Private Bank di Singapura.
* Tindakan penguatkuasaan dan penalti terhadap beberapa bank lain.
* Penyitaan aset bernilai kira-kira S$240 juta yang dikaitkan dengan 1MDB.
* Pemulangan sebahagian dana yang berjaya dipulihkan kepada Malaysia.
Antara individu yang didakwa atau disabitkan ialah:
Yeo Jiawei
Disabitkan atas kesalahan pengubahan wang haram, penipuan, pemalsuan dokumen dan menghalang proses keadilan. Dijatuhi hukuman penjara selama 54 bulan.
Yak Yew Chee
Mengaku bersalah atas beberapa pertuduhan, termasuk pemalsuan dokumen dan kegagalan melaporkan transaksi yang mencurigakan. Dijatuhi hukuman penjara serta denda.
Kelvin Ang Wee Keng
Disabitkan atas kesalahan rasuah yang berkaitan dengan siasatan 1MDB.
Tim Leissner
Tidak didakwa secara jenayah di Singapura. Walau bagaimanapun, MAS pada mulanya mengenakan larangan selama 10 tahun daripada menjalankan aktiviti kewangan terkawal di Singapura, sebelum menukarkannya kepada larangan seumur hidup kerana salah laku yang berkaitan dengan 1MDB. Beliau kemudiannya didakwa secara jenayah di Amerika Syarikat.
Singapura turut mengambil tindakan terhadap beberapa institusi kewangan, antaranya:
* BSI Bank – lesen dibatalkan.
* Falcon Private Bank – lesen dibatalkan.
* DBS Bank – dikenakan penalti kewangan.
* UBS – dikenakan penalti kewangan.
* Standard Chartered – dikenakan penalti kewangan.
* Coutts – dikenakan penalti kewangan.
* United Overseas Bank (UOB) – dikenakan penalti kewangan.
* Credit Suisse – dikenakan penalti kewangan.
Selain itu, pada tahun 2020, Singapura mencapai penyelesaian dengan Goldman Sachs. CAD mengeluarkan amaran bersyarat sebagai ganti pendakwaan jenayah, manakala Goldman Sachs Singapura bersetuju membayar AS$122 juta kepada pihak berkuasa Singapura serta melaksanakan langkah-langkah penambahbaikan di bawah pengawasan MAS.
Secara keseluruhannya, tindakan Singapura terhadap skandal 1MDB dianggap antara yang paling tegas di luar Malaysia. Ia merangkumi pendakwaan jenayah terhadap individu, tindakan penguatkuasaan yang keras terhadap institusi kewangan, penyitaan aset bernilai ratusan juta dolar, serta kerjasama rapat dengan pihak berkuasa di Malaysia, Amerika Syarikat, Switzerland, Luxembourg dan beberapa negara lain.
Datuk Tawfiq Ayman, suami kepada Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz, menjadi perhatian selepas Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) Singapura mengesan transaksi mencurigakan yang melibatkan Iron Rhapsody Ltd, sebuah syarikat yang mana Tawfiq & salah seorang anak lelakinya dikenal pasti sebagai pemilik benefisial. Dana tersebut didakwa berasal daripada syarikat-syarikat yang mempunyai kaitan dengan Jho Low. CAD kemudian menyalurkan maklumat itu kepada Bank Negara Malaysia pada tahun 2015 dan 2016.
Susulan pendedahan tersebut:
Polis Malaysia membuka siasatan terhadap Tawfiq atas dakwaan pengubahan wang haram yang melibatkan dana berkaitan 1MDB. Tetapi senyap selepas itu.
CAD juga menghantar surat kepada Bank Negara Malaysia sewaktu Zeti masigph Gabenur tetapi BNM tidak baut apa2 tindakan.
CAD Singapura telah memaklumkan Bank Negara Malaysia mengenai transaksi yang mencurigakan pada 2015 dan 2016. Namun, maklumat itu tidak didedahkan kepada umum pada ketika itu, dan sehingga kini tiada penjelasan awam yang terperinci mengenai tindakan susulan Bank Negara.
Keadaan ini menimbulkan persoalan sama ada berlaku kegagalan institusi, kelewatan bertindak, atau sebab-sebab lain yang tidak pernah dijelaskan kepada orang ramai.
Perkara ini hanya terbongkar apabila pada 27 Februari 2021, apabila The Edge Malaysia menerbitkan laporan eksklusif yang mendedahkan bahawa CAD Singapura telah memaklumkan Bank Negara Malaysia beberapa tahun lebih awal mengenai transaksi yang disyaki berkaitan dana 1MDB melibatkan syarikat milik Datuk Tawfiq Ayman.
Singapura kemudiannya memulangkan kira-kira AS$15.4 juta dana yang dikaitkan dengan 1MDB, yang sebelum itu disimpan dalam akaun yang berkaitan dengan syarikat milik Tawfik Ayman dan anaknya.

Anwar says anti-graft stance driving rivals’ bid to unseat him, urges Johor voters to back PH
Anwar said his government had refused to tolerate the misuse of public office for personal enrichment, a position he suggested had unsettled certain political quarters.

“Johor is a wealthy state, but we cannot allow only a handful of people to prosper while many others continue to struggle,” said Anwar - July 5, 2026

PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has claimed that political rivals are united in trying to bring down his administration because of its uncompromising stance against corruption and abuse of power.
Speaking at a Pakatan Harapan (PH) campaign event in Senggarang ahead of the Johor state election, Anwar said his government had refused to tolerate the misuse of public office for personal enrichment, a position he suggested had unsettled certain political quarters.
“That’s why you see all these parties coming together to try to bring me down. They know we are strict. They know we safeguard public funds,” he said.
The PH chairman maintained that he had no intention of bowing to political pressure, insisting that his administration would continue to reject practices that allowed leaders to accumulate wealth through government projects, land deals or share allocations.
“I’ve come to Johor many times as prime minister. Did I take land? No. Did I take projects? No. Did I take shares? No. This is the principle our elected representatives must uphold,” he said.
Anwar used the campaign stop to press Johor voters to give PH the mandate to form the next state government, arguing that a state administration aligned with the federal government would be better positioned to deliver development and public assistance.
While acknowledging that Johor has attracted billions of ringgit in investments and development projects, he said the benefits had yet to adequately address everyday concerns faced by ordinary Malaysians.
“Development is growing and billions are being invested, but homes remain unaffordable for many people. These are matters that fall under the state government’s responsibility.”
“Johor is a wealthy state, but we cannot allow only a handful of people to prosper while many others continue to struggle,” he said.
Anwar also defended PH’s partnership with DAP, rejecting claims that the party had opposed policies benefiting Malays or Islam since the unity government took office.
“I’ve been prime minister for three and a half years. Not once has any DAP minister objected to programmes for Malays or Islam. You can check the record,” he said.
He also thanked supporters who turned up for the event despite the afternoon heat, describing the reception in Senggarang as exceptional, before urging voters in Senggarang, Rengit and Penggaram to back PH candidates in the July 11 polls.
The Johor state election will see 172 candidates contesting 56 state seats. Early voting is scheduled for July 7, with polling taking place on July 11. – July 5, 2026
