BSI Bank in Singapore lodged complaint against 1MDB, says Bank Negara

Bank Negara has received information from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) about an account connected to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) in BSI Bank Ltd in the republic, Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz said today. In a Malaysiakini report of a press conference, Zeti said Bank Negara had received a complaint from the Swiss-based BSI Bank on an account linked to the debt-ridden strategic investment firm. She said a report from MAS would be shared with other Malaysian agencies, but declined to name them for confidentiality. "The international community would not cooperate with us (in the future) if we release the information that was extended to us," she was quoted as saying. She said revealing the information would "stop all investigations if we talk about it". – May 26, 2015. MORE TO COME
