Anwar said Zeti must address the matter immediately, including her knowledge on the matter and if she had knowingly allowed transactions involving bank accounts linked to politicians when she was the Bank Negara Malaysia governor.
The PKR president said that with Zeti now heading Permodalan Nasional Bhd, there was all the more reason for her to come clean.
Zeti must also come clean on any knowledge she had when the 1MDB scandal was first exposed and if her family members had benefitted from their links to the fugitive businessman, popularly known as Jho Low.
“Failure to respond to these questions will cast doubts on her integrity,” he said in a statement.
Recently, the MalaysiaToday portal, run by blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin claimed that some of Zeti’s family members, including her husband and sons, had received over RM100 million in funds from Jho Low, the mastermind of the 1MDB scandal.
According to the post, Zeti’s family members allegedly executed a statutory declaration in which they admitted receiving millions in Singapore bank accounts, with the money coming from a company linked to Jho Low.
FMT has not been able to independently confirm the veracity of the SD.
Former prime minister Najib Razak had earlier asked Zeti to answer the allegations while the National Patriots Association also joined in this morning, asking her to clear the air about her alleged involvement in the 1MDB scandal.
Anwar, meanwhile, went on to say that the registered offshore accounts have been shown to belong to Zeti’s family members.
He also said that the allegations made against Zeti proved that the country was still far from resolving the 1MDB scandal.
“Those who benefitted and gained from 1MDB must be brought to justice. As those who had abetted in the matter, too. The scandal wouldn’t have happened without the nod from various financial authorities.”
