MACC joins police probe into MyEG, Zetrix AI over RM314m unpaid collections

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has joined forces with the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) in an ongoing investigation into MyEG Sdn Bhd and Zetrix AI Berhad, following an official complaint regarding RM314 million in unpaid government revenue. The anti-graft agency announced the formal report was filed on October 7, and confirmed that they will work closely with the police to investigate the matter under penal laws.

The MACC urged the public to come forward with credible information related to the transactions, while warning against circulating unverified speculation. MyEG and Zetrix AI, previously known as My E.G. Services Berhad, owe the federal government RM314 million in unremitted public revenue from road users since May. The funds, collected for vehicle road tax, driving licences, and traffic summonses, were not deposited into the Transport Ministry's primary account.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke revealed that four consultative meetings were held with stakeholders, and 35 formal demand notices were issued since May. The companies submitted a post-dated cheque on August 21, but it was stopped upon their instructions. The government is now preparing civil legal action to recover the debt, which has led to the freezing of all payment gateway services through MyEG and Zetrix AI until the debt is recovered.
