Malaysia: ‘No transfer of terror funds here’

on Thursday, April 5, 2012
There is no proof of transfer of funds to terrorist groups through the Malaysian banking system, said Bank Nega-ra.

The central bank, in a press statement, refuted reports by a local English daily claiming that an individual with suspected links to al-Qaeda was transferring funds to terrorist groups from Malaysia.

“We would like to state that there is no evidence of such transfer of funds to terrorist groups through the Malaysian banking system,” it said yesterday.

Bank Negara said Malaysia’s banking system was subjected to ongoing surveillance and had not been tainted by such activities.

It added that it would continue to exercise vigilance against such threats which may arise from money laundering and terrorist-financing activities.
