  "summary": "The Ministry of Transport in Malaysia has confirmed that digital services company Zetrix AI Bhd owes over RM200 million in unremitted public collections, including road tax, driving licence renewals, and traffic summonses. This revelation comes after The Straits Times reported that the e-government concessionaire failed to transfer the collected funds to the Road Transport Department (JPJ) since the inception of its three-year service contract in May 2023. The Ministry is currently considering its options regarding the outstanding debt. Zetrix AI, formerly known as MyEG Services Bhd, has a history of pioneering online public service portals in Malaysia, having established the country's e-government delivery network since 2000. Despite the significant arrears, the company reported a net profit of RM269.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, bringing its net profit for the first six months of the financial year to RM540.58 million.",
