She has extensive experience in developing regulations, policies and guidelines for the banking sector and was also involved in financial sector resolution initiatives during the Asian financial crisis as well as in the implementation of the Financial Sector Masterplan for the development of the Malaysian financial system from 2001 to 2010.
She was also involved in the investigation into 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) while at the bank.
Datuk Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus has been appointed as the new Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) for a term of five years effective from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2023, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng announced yesterday.
Lim said the Ministry of Finance (MoF) has been instructed to announce that the Yang diPertuan Agong had on June 19, 2018 granted his royal consent to the recommendation of Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to appoint Nor Shamsiah as the new Governor.
“The Prime Minister forwarded his recommendation on June 18, 2018 to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong that Datuk Nor Shamsiah be appointed as the BNM Governor for a term of five years effective from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2023,” he said at a press conference in Putrajaya here, yesterday.
She takes over from Tan Sri Muhammad Ibrahim, who resigned early this month before completing his five-year term, after his appointment in May 2016.
Nor Shamsiah was the Deputy Governor of BNM from 2010 until 2016.
She recently served as Assistant Director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Division of the International Monetary Fund.
As Deputy Governor, she was responsible for banking, insurance and takaful supervision, financial intelligence and enforcement, talent management, finance and shared services of the central bank.
Nor Shamsiah joined BNM in 1987 and has served in various areas including prudential regulations, legislation, policies and guidelines for the financial sector and supervision.

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.
