  "account": "The police have questioned six witnesses in their investigation into MyEG Sdn Bhd and Zetrix AI Bhd for allegedly failing to transfer RM230.9 million in collected government revenue, according to Rusdi Isa, director of the Bukit Aman commercial crime investigation department. The investigation, launched on Oct 7 following a police report, is probing criminal breach of trust under Section 409 of the Penal Code. Isa cautioned against speculation and the spread of unverified information, emphasizing that the case's handling needs to remain accurate to prevent misleading the public and potentially impacting the investigation.\n\nThe probe unfolds after revelations that MyEG and Zetrix, serving as collection agents for the road transport department (JPJ), owe JPJ a total of RM314 million in arrears. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has pledged to collaborate with the police to investigate these arrears. Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook had previously issued 35 notices to Zetrix demanding the settlement of the outstanding amount. Zetrix submitted a cheque for RM231 million in August, but the bank informed JPJ that it could not be processed due to instructions from the company. Consequently, JPJ suspended MyEG and Zetrix from their roles as collection agents for fees and summonses.",
  "summary": "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.",
