Wahid Omar says this in response to an anonymous posting on social media questioning the appointment of the former CEO of CIMB.

Abdul Wahid Omar, a former minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of economic planning, has described newly-appointed Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Tengku Aziz as a competent technocrat to manage the country's finance and economy.

"I’m glad we have a competent technocrat in Tengku Zafrul at MOF and the experienced, competent and most hardworking Minister in Datuk Seri Mustapa at the Economic Planning Unit to manage the finance and economy of the country,” he said in a statement late yesterday, in response to an article by an anonymous writer being circulated on social media questioning the appointment of Tengku Zafrul as one of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's cabinet members.

“They have my support. To many of us non-politicians, let us all play our respective part and support Tan Sri Muhyiddin, the cabinet and the government of the day to build a better Malaysia," he said. “Tengku Zafrul was one of my three deputies at Maybank with potential to succeed me as CEO. He was CEO of Maybank Investment Bank who, together with Datuk Abdul Farid Alias and team, successfully built up the regional investment banking business in Maybank to be the leader it is today,” he said.

Without government support, CIMB will be even worse

Your good friend, what else can you say ?

As if CIMB was doing well !!! Half the time it had issues.

Traitor!

IS or WAS CIMB doing well under this guy🥺

Is this the guy in the video who sang in Najib’s campaign to “make Malaysia great again”? I am retching.

Don't just say prove it first

Talk cock.. He has zero exp in managaing the economy. No basis to even make such a statement. Even if u hire the CEO of goldman sachs, he will not improve a bankrupt Msia😅😭

My Message for Zafrul: 1. Fix The Economy, 2. Create New Jobs 3. Audit Our Economy to World Auditing standards (not LGE's) 4. Investigate PH Loans/Bonds. RakyatBiasa.

History will judge tht....not u

Tengku Zafrul thanks PM for opportunity to serve Malaysia as finance minister | Malay MailKUALA LUMPUR, March 9 — Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz who will be appointed as senator to be the finance minister vowed to give his best to the nation. In a statement, Tengku Zafrul thanked Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for giving him an opportunity to serve the country.... Ok, Najib's proxy? He obviously doesn't understand politics. He won't be in the job for long. Why would anyone in the corporate world accept this job in these very difficult economic times? His job is not to steer the national economy. It is to find a way out for those on trial. 👏
