6 witnesses questioned in police probe into MyEG, Zetrix
The probe follows revelations that MyEG Sdn Bhd and Zetrix AI Bhd, which act as collection agents, owe the road transport department RM314 million in arrears.
Police have questioned six individuals in connection with an investigation into MyEG Sdn Bhd and Zetrix AI Bhd for allegedly failing to transfer RM230.9 million in collected government revenue. This probe was initiated after a police report was received on October 7, according to Rusdi Isa, director of the Bukit Aman commercial crime investigation department.
The investigation, which is ongoing, involves the review of various documents related to the case. Isa requested the public to refrain from speculating or sharing unverified information about the proceedings, as such actions might mislead the public and potentially impact the investigation.
The case emerged following claims that MyEG and Zetrix, which serve as collection agents for the road transport department (JPJ), owe the department a total of RM314 million in arrears. Earlier today, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) announced its cooperation with the police in investigating the RM314 million arrears owed by MyEG and Zetrix to JPJ.
Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook had previously stated that Zetrix had received 35 notices demanding payment, and the company submitted a cheque for RM231 million in August. However, the bank informed JPJ that it could not process the cheque due to instructions from Zetrix. As a result, JPJ suspended MyEG and Zetrix from their roles as collection agents for fees and summonses.
