New BNM Governor replacing Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz in April 2016

Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz

Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz will be stepping down as her last term will end this April. This is the report that she told newsman after the launch of Integrated Account Platform (IAP) recently at Sasana Kijang.

Tan Sri Zeti Akhtar Aziz today refused to reveal any information on the identity of her successor following her last term as the Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia.
Zeti's contract will end in April and she added, that she will not stay on for another term as the Bank Negara's Governor.
She, however, said the announcement on her successor would be made soon.
"In due time, you will be informed. There is a process for it and you have to be patient," Zeti told newsmen after the launch of the Integrated Account Platform (IAP), an Islamic banking investment platform at Sasana Kijang today.
She reiterated that the process of appointing a new Governor will take time because it had to be done meticulously and in depth.
Zeti explained, that the process of finding her successor is being undertaken by the Governance Committee of the BNM Board which comprises independent directors from the private sector.
This was to ensure her successor has all the required qualifications and criteria.
Zeti said the people need not worry on the issue of her successor because Bank Negara would remain a solid institution.

Well, for me personally this is a welcomed news because that means we will finally be having a new signature of the new Governor on the next issues/series of Malaysian Banknotes! And hopefully the Zeti's signed notes will get more valuable.

RM100 Ali Abul Center Sign Found

It is that time of the month again to withdraw our hard earn salary money from the bank. And as usual for any banknotes collector it is a must to check every notes that reach our hands. If you did not check maybe there is a replacement , solid, ladder or maybe just an old signature that you just didn't realize you can get for free. So this time around, I managed to get 2 piece of RM100 Ali Abul center sign. Although the condition is at best VF(very fine), I am happy and will keep these notes in my album collection. One of the notes is AR last prefix and the second one is AN prefix if I am not mistaken. So the next time you got some cash in your hand, please take a minute and scanned the number or signature of the notes. Maybe got RM1 CR Ali Abul or solid 8888888 number. Wow! Although it is most unlikely.
