PUTRAJAYA, Oct 5 — Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook today demanded that MYEG and Zetrix AI Berhad immediately settle RM314 million in outstanding government revenue, saying the money collected does not belong to the companies.
He said the outstanding amount involved revenue collected by My E.G. Sdn Bhd (MYEG) and Zetrix AI Berhad, formerly known as My E.G. Services Berhad, that had yet to be transferred to the Ministry of Transport’s Main Revenue Account.

Loke said the RM314 million in arrears had accumulated since May this year, rejecting reports that the amount had been outstanding for three years.
