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

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the Royal Malaysia Police are jointly investigating My EG Sdn Bhd and Zetrix AI Berhad over an unremitted government revenue of RM314 million, initially reported on October 7.

The investigation follows Transport Minister Anthony Loke's revelations that these companies, acting as revenue collection agents, failed to deposit funds collected for vehicle-related fees into the government's account since May.

A post-dated cheque for RM231 million was halted, leading to a freeze on the companies' payment services and the transition of public transactions to direct government platforms.

MACC has pledged to conduct an independent investigation and urged the public to refrain from sharing unverified information.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 13 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has stepped into the controversy surrounding My EG Sdn Bhd (MyEG) and Zetrix AI Berhad, joining an active police investigation following an official complaint over RM314 million in unremitted government revenue.

In a statement today, the anti-graft agency confirmed that the formal report was lodged on Oct 7, noting that the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) are already investigating the matter under penal laws.

“Accordingly, MACC will cooperate closely with PDRM to examine and carry out information sharing in investigating this matter, based on offences under the jurisdiction of the police,” the commission said.

Should indicators of corruption, bribery, or abuse of power emerge during police inquiries, the relevant files will be transferred to the commission for immediate enforcement action.

The commission also urged anyone with credible information on the transactions to come forward, while advising the public against circulating unverified speculation that could compromise the integrity of the investigation.

“MACC stresses that it will not compromise and will conduct its investigation independently, fairly and in accordance with the law,” the statement said.

The commission did not reveal the specific identity of the complainant or the detailed charges outlined in the document.

Unremitted collections and halted post-dated cheques

The regulatory clampdown follows revelations by Transport Minister Anthony Loke on Oct 5 that both concessionaires owe the federal government RM314 million in unremitted public revenue collected from road users since May.

Loke clarified that the funds, collected for vehicle road tax, driving licences, and traffic summonses, were never deposited into the Transport Ministry’s primary account, dismissing earlier claims that the arrears dated back three years. Zetrix AI was formerly known as My E.G. Services Berhad.

According to Loke, the ministry and the Road Transport Department (JPJ) held four consultative meetings with stakeholders, including the Ministry of Finance, and issued 35 formal demand notices since May.

While the companies submitted an RM231 million cheque on Aug 21 post-dated to Sept 30, the payment was subsequently stopped upon presentation on the companies’ instructions.

The default prompted the Transport Ministry and JPJ to freeze all payment gateway services through MyEG and Zetrix AI until the full RM314 million is recovered.

Loke said that the companies functioned purely as revenue collection agents and that the money belongs to the Malaysian public, adding that the government is preparing civil legal action to recover the debt.

Public transactions have since transitioned to direct government platforms, including the MyJPJ mobile app, the official JPJ portal, physical service counters, and digital kiosks.

马来西亚反贪污委员会（MACC）和马来西亚皇家警察正在联合调查 My EG Sdn Bhd 和 Zetrix AI Berhad 两家公司，原因是这两家公司未上缴政府收入 3.14 亿令吉，该事件最初于 10 月 7 日被报道。

此前交通部长陆兆福透露，这些公司作为税收代理机构，自 5 月以来未能将收取的车辆相关费用存入政府账户。随后展开了调查。

一张金额为 2.31 亿令吉的远期支票被冻结，导致相关公司的支付服务被暂停，公共交易也转移到政府直接平台进行。

反贪污委员会承诺将进行独立调查，并敦促公众不要传播未经证实的信息。

布城，10 月 13 日讯——马来西亚反贪污委员会 (MACC) 已介入 My EG Sdn Bhd (MyEG) 和 Zetrix AI Berhad 的争议，在接到有关未上缴 3.14 亿令吉政府收入的正式投诉后，加入了警方的积极调查。

反贪机构今天发表声明证实，正式举报已于10月7日提交，并指出马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）已根据刑法对此事展开调查。

“因此，反贪污委员会将与马来西亚皇家警察密切合作，审查并共享信息，以调查这起案件，案件涉及的罪行属于警方的管辖范围，”该委员会表示。

如果在警方调查过程中发现腐败、贿赂或滥用职权的迹象，相关档案将移交委员会，以便立即采取执法行动。

委员会还敦促任何掌握有关这些交易的可靠信息的人士挺身而出，同时告诫公众不要散布未经证实的猜测，以免损害调查的公正性。

“反贪污委员会强调，它不会妥协，并将独立、公正、依法地进行调查。”声明中说。

委员会没有透露投诉人的具体身份，也没有透露文件中列出的详细指控。

未汇缴的款项和已止付的远期支票

此次监管整顿是在交通部长陆兆福于 10 月 5 日透露，这两家特许经营商拖欠联邦政府自 5 月以来从道路使用者处收取的 3.14 亿令吉公共收入之后进行的。

陆兆福澄清，这些用于车辆路税、驾驶执照和交通罚单的款项从未存入交通部的主要账户，并驳斥了此前关于欠款可追溯至三年前的说法。Zetrix AI的前身是My EG Services Berhad。

据陆兆福称，自 5 月以来，交通部和陆路交通局 (JPJ) 与包括财政部在内的利益相关者举行了四次磋商会议，并发出了 35 份正式催缴通知书。

虽然这些公司在 8 月 21 日提交了一张 2.31 亿令吉的支票，日期为 9 月 30 日，但随后根据这些公司的指示，付款被停止了。

违约事件导致交通部和陆路交通局冻结了通过 MyEG 和 Zetrix AI 提供的所有支付网关服务，直到全部 3.14 亿令吉款项收回为止。

陆兆福表示，这些公司纯粹是作为税收代理机构运作，这些钱属于马来西亚公众，并补充说，政府正在准备采取民事法律行动来追讨债务。

公共交易已逐步过渡到政府直接平台，包括 MyJPJ 移动应用程序、JPJ 官方门户网站、实体服务柜台和数字自助服务终端。
