Apa nasib data pengguna JPJ selepas MyEG, Zetrix AI digantung, soal Pemuda MCA

Pemuda MCA has raised concerns over the fate of personal user data from MyEG Sdn Bhd (MyEG) and Zetrix AI Bhd (Zetrix AI), which were previously linked with the Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) after their services were suspended. Neow Choo Seong, the party's spokesperson, claims that MyEG and Zetrix AI continue to store and control the databases of millions of JPJ users' personal data, even though the services have been put on hold.

He raises questions about the safety of this data and the potential risk of personal data breaches in his statement.

MyEG and Zetrix AI were linked as powerful proxy agents on October 2nd, 2022, after JPJ announced their suspension on October 5th, pending fulfillment of contract terms and obligations not yet met or settled by the company. This move came after the Ministry of Transport confirmed that Zetrix AI, previously known as MyEG Services Bhd, owed JPJ over RM200 million in loans, including renewal road tax, driving license fees, and traffic fines.

Reports state that Zetrix failed to deliver the required funds since the three-year contract with JPJ began in May 2023.

Neow argues that Minister of Transport Loke Siew Fook's statement does not address the future of personal user data, only mentioning the 35 warning notices and four board meetings aimed at regaining the proxy status. He points out that 30 million Malaysians are still trapped in the private company's servers, according to Zetrix's statement made today.

Today, Zetrix claimed that its team has proposed a solution to the government to address the RM314 million debt, prioritizing the fulfillment of obligations and attempting to revive its services.
