A central bank spokesman also rubbished rumors on the social media that the central bank governor was hospitalised for a heart attack a few days ago which led to her 'resignation' yesterday.
"Not by us," Khalid told reporters when he was asked whether Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz was being probed by police over the matter. He said this during a press conference at the Royal Malaysia College.
Earlier, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) denied rumours circulating in local media and financial markets that Zeti had resigned.
When asked to comment on the rumor, a central bank spokesman said: "This is not true," according to Reuters.
When contacted by The Star, a BNM spokesman also denied that Zeti, 67, suffered a heart attack.
"She is fine and came to work as usual,” added the spokesman.
A list naming Zeti, together with 11 others, goes viral on the social media, especially Face Book, over the past few days as'CONSPIRATORS AGAINST THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT'.

Apart from Zeti, the others are Shamsudin Mohd Mahayiddin (Foreign Exchange Div, BNM), Abdul Rahman Hussin (Risk Management Div, BNM), Shukri Abdul (Dep Chief Commissioner, MACC, pic), Tan Kang Sai (Dep Director, MACC Special Operation Div), Rashpal Sing a/l Jeswant Singh (member of Advisory Board of Anti Corruption).
Jessica Gurmeet Kaur (head of Special Task Force Secretariat), Tong Kooi Ong (owner, The Edge Financial Group), Ho Kay Tat (CEO The Edge), Claire Recastle-Brown (editor-in-chief Sarawak Report) and Sufi Yusof (Press Secretary to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad).
It doesn't make sense at all to pool people like Zeti and Shukri together with The Edge and Sarawak Report, that they conspired to bring down Najib's government!
What do you think, readers?
To me, nothing is impossible...
