PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz was the talk of social media today after she cleared the air on speculation surrounding her tenure as governor, BNM's investigations on 1Malaysia Development Berhad's (1MDB) transactions and the depreciation of the ringgit.
As news on BNM's press briefing following the release of the "Economic and Financial Development in the Second Quarter of 2015" report hit social media, netizens expressed support for Zeti who has helmed BNM for the past 16 years.

On the whole, netizens said that Zeti had done her job with regards to BNM's investigation on 1MDB, adding that it was up to the Attorney General's chambers now to proceed further.
