  "account": "Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke is set to address the suspension of My E.G. and Zetrix AI as collection agents for the Road Transport Department (RTD) today at 11am in Putrajaya. The decision follows more than RM200 million in unremitted collections made by the companies on behalf of the RTD since October 2023. These collections were made for vehicle road tax renewals, driving license renewals, and traffic summonses. The suspension came into effect at 12.01am on October 5, 2026, and all services previously offered through MYEG Group channels have also been suspended. RTD Director-General Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli stated that the suspension was due to non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the agreement and outstanding obligations. The move has sparked calls for an audit and clarification from Malaysia Corruption Watch president Jais Abdul Karim, who questioned the mechanisms in place to ensure collections were recorded, reconciled, and remitted.",
