I wonder how she got the gall to sue Maybank. Her own defence makes her look foolish.

Even if she had the authority to transfer that sum, she acted in a reckless manner.

The full article has got so many red flags.

- The Zoom call lasted for 5 minutes and was cut short due to "connection issues"
- There is an element of time pressure - must be done quick
- 3 unknown phone numbers messaged her
- She claims they mentioned discussing off company channels to prevent insider information from leaking
- She never bothered to verify the entity she transferred the money to
- Even after JPM put a halt to the transaction, it took her a whole 3 more hours to "it then occurred to me that the payment instructions might have been a fraudulent attempt"

To me, this person does not have enough smarts to be the Group CFO of the largest financial institution in Malaysia and also the largest listed company in the country. Maybank is also the second largest company in Malaysia after Petronas.

How did she get up there?

Maybank sure malu they got this kind of quality personnel, not surprising as they're being propped up by GLICs.

And I don't understand the logic of this person, when it is clear she kena basic scam and never took any actions whatsoever to ascertain the truth.

Looks like Maybank hire C-suite to be "pak turut" without critical thinking? Hmmmm

For less than MYR5mil?

Her celery would've easily been 1mil a year with bonus.
Why risk that kind of money for just a RM5mil scam on her name lol
