Umno leader lodges MACC report over RM314mil MyEG, Zetrix AI issue

Federal Territories Umno information chief Datuk Gulam Muzaffar Gulam Mustakim has filed a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) regarding alleged financial misconduct involving MyEG Sdn Bhd and Zetrix AI Bhd. The complaint centers around RM314 million in government revenue that the companies are believed to owe.

Mustakim disclosed that he made this report based on statements made by Loke in the past. The information for the report was gathered from prior statements attributed to Loke, which he subsequently submitted to MACC officers. He also handed over relevant documents to the commission to aid their investigation.

Mustakim stated that he acted as a responsible Malaysian citizen to voice his concerns about the MyEG and Zetrix AI situation. He expressed his willingness to serve as a key witness if necessary to support the investigation. The complaint falls under Sections 16, 17, 18, and 23 of the MACC Act 2009, which Mustakim believed warranted further scrutiny.

The Transport Ministry, through the Road Transport Department, had suspended services provided by MyEG and Zetrix AI as RTD revenue collection agents due to the companies' failure to remit government revenue collections within the required timeframe.

The total amount claimed from these companies between May 19 and September 30 was RM314 million, encompassing government revenue that had not yet been transferred to the Transport Ministry's primary receiving account. MyEG has been serving as an RTD collection agent since 2000, handling services such as motor vehicle licence renewals, vehicle ownership transfers, driving licences, and electronic summons payments.
