KUALA LUMPUR: Former Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) deputy governor Datuk Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus is among the candidates being considered to succeed governor Tan Sri Muhammad Ibrahim if he resigns, two sources said on Tuesday.
Malaysia is discussing exit terms for Muhammad and an announcement could be made as early as Wednesday, people aware of the discussions said.
“There are talks being arranged with Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus,” said one government source, speaking on condition of anonymity. No decision has yet been made.
Nor Shamsiah left BNM after her term ended in November 2016.
