Finance Ministry has engaged BNM, banks to make 'correct decision according to needs of rakyat', he says.

Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz has urged banks to "consider" not charging accrued interest or profit during the loan repayment moratorium period.

"Considering that there is a possibility that this could happen and after listening to the needs of the rakyat, I urge all financial institutions... to consider accrued interest or profit during the six-month moratorium," he said in a Facebook post this morning....

No need to plead to banks. As finance minister you just can order for people sake. To do good no need to compromise.

The worse things is it involves so-called Islamic finance too

Tarik lesen bank, nko kan government.

aidilarazak U-turn again?

I urge Zafrul to step down

Those banks which are willing to waive interest will be people's choice and ll be remembered as a considerate bank during harsh time by malaysians. This will be a good platform for bank to gain good publicity . My 2 cents..

U are the Finance Minister! Why urge? Just instruct!!! Wat a hopeless Finance Minister..shd just stick to yr cycling!

Useless minister

Diam la peja

Would he do the same if he is still at CIMB? Double standard as usual and we have heard it before

BNM IRRESPONSIBLE !! to RAKYAT but only PROFIT Concerned.

Yet another unqualified minister talking shit...if LGE make statement like this..sure he's been bombarded by those in Umno and Pas

Baik takyah jd Menteri... Aku pun boleh hantar email ke bank “urge” them to write off accrued interest. In fact, aku dh hantar...hahaha

Sila tukar nama Bank Negara kalau x boleh bantu Rakyat dan Negara..Letakla apa je nama Bankan ke Bankut ke..apa jela..pttla byk scam kt Mlaysia ssh nk hpuskn..hurmm...🍿🤫

urge? just write and sign an official MoF statement lah.. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Only urges ba .... pity Makcik Kiah, Pak Salleh, Ah Moi, Muru, Dodu Idi... woke up to more interest to pay, air & karan mau bayar insurance .... school fees mau bayar .... no1 bother to read the otherside of d moratorium

God bless u, Dato Seri. Insya Allah. Hopefully semua mslh ini selesai dgn baik. Biasa ler yg melatah tu.. Anyway, congrats coz kalau LGE dah tentu rakyat lbh sengsara bnyk tak dipertimbangkan! Amin..

Banker wouldn't forgo interest accrued during moratorium period....I thot goments subsidized to write off the interests or else the figure of rescue fund with billions announced by back door goments was bullshitting....shit

tzafrul_aziz dah macam banks PET

Remember when Najib could compel banks to launder money for him? ah....

Arahan keliru

it seems that you have told the media during the makcik Kiah scenario but didn't tell BNM

has he had any political experience before?

Again, Ini salah LGE .

Urges? God damn it you’re the government la Stop this nonsense & call for parliamentary sitting

cmon la dude, tegas la sikit.

Please do more...

urge,nasihat,minta tolong does not work la. go to parliment and table a special covid 19 act to deal with this kind of problem. 🤷

We would have better respected u if u had come up with the statement at the onset, rather than blaming BNM or saying that the rakyat is 'keliru'. Anyhow, u should not URGE the banks, u should INSTRUCT them. You are Minster of Finance, not Minister of Banks.

I’d be very worried if this man is my accountant.

Greedy Bloodsuckers

Banking institutions have got their own procedures.

I suggest you go back to school and learn more about finance institution

Asal bukan DAP je... 😆

When rules r made based on non-existent act of parliament...nobody is obliged to comply

Tengkucrat dari Damansara buat u-turn

Urge ke sarankan 2 differenr meaning ok

Lol.. this guy is a good example on why we technocrats are not well suited for political appointments. Lip service has never moved capitalistic institutions to action and he knows that.

Menteri boleh instruct kan.

Moratorium cost is included in the RM250 bilion Makcik Kiah package, so why can’t the govt absorb those interest?

Tergadah.

Ckplah gomen absorb...setel

Abu toh

Ini salah Dap kata macai PN

My God, he is the Finance Minister. Malaysia is scared by his incompetence. We are not having a boom time. Not even an economic down turn. We are experiencing something far greater than ecomic depression. GOD SAVE US ALL!

An after-thought after the bashing by netizens. No sincerity. tzafrul_aziz

Is he joking or what? Banks will never do that. That's their basic income. That's what that pays their bills for them. Would tzafrul_aziz stop collecting something that pays his bills for him? Not a chance. So why does he expect banks to stop collecting interest?

Semua salah dap

Your 'rm250b' stimulus. Can't even get your own shit right

Pergi parlimen buat usul la. Shit minister

He'd crash landed.Lying through his teeth again.

Zafrul urges banks to forgo interest accrued under moratorium? Seriously? Is this your political stunk? If MOF want to do that, subsidies yourself la, why use other people’s money to do your own political stunk? Banks has shareholders like general public, EPF, PNB, this chills shareholders and investors, will do big damage to capital market in long run. Why asking PRUDENT PEOPLE TO SUBSIDIES BIG BORROWERS WHO OFTEN IS RICH AND LEVERAGE ON LOANS TO BUY MULTIPLE ASSETS?

Keep the pressure on folks. It's working

There’s this magical place called parliament where you can change the law and banks need to follow. Use that.

If MOF want it, MOF can subsidies the interest themselves, why ask other people do your job? Government should not open floodgate to pressure private companies to do unfair favor for the government, this shareholders and investors chill, big damage to Malaysia in long-run. Furthermore, these banks shareholders are general public and EPF, this is like ASKING PRUDENT RAKYAT TO SUBSIDIES BIG BORROWERS, WHERE A LOT OF THEM ARE RICH AND LEVERAGE ON BIG LOANS TO BUY MULTIPLE ASSETS.

Urges je

Not very bright now is he. This ain't a company, where u can make U-turns dude, it's a country where decisions change lives. If you can't handle it, quit

Yea bank. You guys are already rich.

Dear Finance Minister, U have bungled “big time”.

PARLIMEN seating NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

What a fumble?

zafrul u damfaks

Ni bukan uturn dah Ni 360

As the Minister of Finance, you have all the powers to instruct and force them into it. By instructing, you are just using kid's gloves

Incompetent fool.

tzafrul_aziz you're useless. It's you're job to legislate this. Not just urge. Useless. This is why we need elected representatives to lead ministries at least. And good ones.

Iya la..kau la hero

tzafrul_aziz can I ask for you to disclose yours and your family shareholdings in the local banks to avoid any conflict of interest.

Boleh, tp govt kena tanggung pendeposotir interest

So, was that a communications error? What you said on Arwani interview , does it constitute fake news?

Pergi la parlimen. Arahkan banks to do so. Jgn urged, sbb bank being bank, they won't. You were a banker, you would know... Oh wait, this is just a lip service to lessen people's anger right? I got ya.

Konon...u yang suruh bank buat moratorium, u yang buat announcement tiada faedah sepanjang moratorium, then u yang kata ada faedah cuma bank tak jelaskan moratorium tu, u yang cuma nak salahkan BNM... kini lepas rumah u dipenuhi taik babi, u nak keluar bela rakyat konon SaborJe

tzafrul_aziz from the banks in Chinese, 你玩笑. Pity the banks now.

Agree or otherwise boikot the banks

sy cadangkan pembentangan 'Rang Undang² sementara bencana covid' berkuat kuasa serta merta, segala memotarium tak boleh di guna pakai dalam tempoh yg di tetap kan.... y not...?

what a screwed up! fix it.

Precisely , just issue a statement asking them to follow . You take the charge man...

Don't muster your associates

I hv the urge too.. nak gi jamban arrhh

The right word is Zafrul instruct the banks not to charge interest accrued under monotorium. Why you need to urge the banks when you're the finance minister? Do you govern this goverment or the banks govern you?

tzafrul_aziz BUAT MALU LA AWAK NI
