The government is preparing to take legal action against MyEG Sdn Bhd and Zetrix AI Bhd over RM314 million in government revenue that the two companies allegedly failed to remit within the stipulated period. Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the government is considering civil suits against both companies, stressing that government collections must not be used as part of a company’s operating funds.

Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday, Loke said delays in transferring government revenue constitute a serious breach of the terms of the agreement. He added that the companies had failed to settle all outstanding collections and the associated penalties within the deadline set by the government.
