00:00 Remove my name from the politically exposed persons list.

00:05 This is former Law Minister Zayed Ibrahim's request to Bank Negara Malaysia as it is causing

00:11 him and his family unnecessary hardship.

00:14 Zayed said being on the PEP is causing him trouble, including having difficulties exchanging

00:20 money and opening accounts at banks.

00:23 He said even his son's law firm was called to explain its relationship with him before

00:29 it could be included on a bank's panel.

00:31 Zayed explained that he holds no political ambition or even a position in a political

00:37 party, adding that he lives on his savings as a retiree.

00:41 BNM defines a PEP as someone who is or has been entrusted with a prominent public function.

00:47 Zayed was the Kota Bharu MP from 2004 to 2008 and was appointed as Law Minister in March

00:54 2008, but resigned in September of that year over the use of the Internal Security Act.
