Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz has refused to be dragged into the current political feud in the nation.

"All I can say is I am not going to be drawn into making a political statement, I am not going to allow BNM to be drawn into politics," she told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.

Zeti was responding to a question on former deputy premier Muhyiddin Yassin referring to her in a speech he made this week, on 1MDB.

Muhyiddin claimed Zeti informed him of 1MDB's assets in BSI Bank.
