Malayan Banking (KLSE:MAYBANK) pushed back against a Bloomberg News report that some of its bankers were being questioned by Indonesian authorities in connection with a probe involving the Salim Group, saying it was not the subject of any investigation, Reuters reported Thursday.
The bank said personnel at its Indonesian unit had been asked to provide information as witnesses to assist authorities in accordance with applicable laws, according to the news outlet.
Maybank said it remains committed to governance, compliance and integrity standards, but declined to comment further because the matter is ongoing, Reuters said.
