Bank Islam acts unprofessionally as well as unjustly in suspending Azrul Azwar
We, a undersigned organisations as well as individuals, call upon Bank Islam to return a Chief Economist, Azrul Azwar Ahmad Tajudin, who has been suspended for presenting an research based upon mechanism simulation which projects a probability weighted base-case unfolding of Pakatan Rakyat's feat in a 13th general elections.
We hold which Bank Islam has acted unprofessionally, unjustly as well as but any basis by reportedly punishing Mr Azrul Azwar for his veteran opinion, presented at a Regional Outlook F! orum upo n Jan 10, 2013.
We understand which a economist had additionally generated a best-case unfolding of a Barisan Nasional's slight win as well as a worst-case unfolding of a statute coalition's large loss. For a record, no party has produced any methodical come-back to his analysis.
Consistent with a view of monetary regulators as well as academics worldwide, you stress which report leisure is impending to a apparatus grant mechanism of a monetary markets. Freedom of countenance as well as leisure of report have been a most appropriate way to expose as well as scold any fabrication or misinformation. Analyses upon elections as well as their mercantile as well as monetary consequences have been clearly of peerless importance for a markets as well as a country.
Hence, inequitable report results in unfair grant as well as distorts a firmness of a markets.
By allegedly suppressing Mr Azrul Azwar's veteran perspective which was unlucky to Barisan Nasional, maliciously labelled as "political comments", Bank Islam is revelation which a Bank has a policy of reporting usually Barisan Nasional enlightened news.
It cannot be argued which Mr Azrul Azwar's behaviour is reckless as his research has had no market stroke as well as a FBMKLCI has barely moved closed at 1684.57 upon 10 Jan 2013 as well as 1682.95 upon sixteen Jan 2013. Besides, a basic tenet of banking as well as finance is assessing risks (be it political, economics), as well as which was what Mr Azrul Azwar did.
We call upon Bank Islam to immediately return Mr Azrul Azwar to his position as well as conduct a commercial operation professionally.
We additionally urge a BN supervision to stick on our call for Bank Islam to return him. This will infer over disbelief which a BN supervision has not pressured Bank Islam to postpone Mr Azrul Azwar as well as PM Najib Razak is honestly committed to reform.
