The Transport Minister of Malaysia, Anthony Loke, clarified the suspension of Zetrix and MyEG as JPJ revenue collection agents, attributing it to financial obligations rather than political ties. SOCSO, the Social Security Organisation of Malaysia, stated that Zetrix had never been appointed to collect mandatory social security contributions, as their role was limited to marketing and engagement activities for voluntary schemes covering self-employed individuals and housewives.
MyEG, previously known as MyEG, was established in 2000 for online government services and was rebranded to Zetrix in 2025. Loke emphasized that the decision was based on financial facts and equal treatment for all companies, rejecting claims of political influence. He addressed allegations of links to UMNO, stating that such affiliations were irrelevant.
