Zetrix AI vs Pos Malaysia & JPJ Arrears: A Credit-Risk Case Study
When a company reporting half a billion ringgit in profit fails to remit collections held on behalf of the government, credit analysts do not just ask why it is late — they ask what changed.
Here is a factual breakdown of the Zetrix AI (formerly MyEG) and JPJ arrears situation as of October 2026:
📌 The Shortfall & The Timeline
• RM314 Million Unremitted: Zetrix AI collects road tax, licence renewals, and summonses on behalf of the Road Transport Department (JPJ). Under agreement, funds are due within one working day, but an RM314 million shortfall accumulated between 19 May and 30 September 2026.
• 35 Reminders & An Unprocessed Cheque: Despite 4 inter-ministry consultations and 35 reminders, payment was not remitted. On 21 August, the company submitted an RM231 million cheque dated 30 September, which the bank later stated could not be processed on instructions from the company itself.
• Suspension: JPJ suspended Zetrix AI as a collection agent effective 12.01am on 5 October 2026, with potential legal action underway to recover the full debt. Following suspension, company shares fell 43.5% to 6.5 sen.
📉 What Changed Behind the Scenes?
• Between August and October, founder TS Wong’s stake dropped from 29.49% to 13.14% (selling 1.245 billion shares for RM321 million following margin calls) and further down to 10.079% by 5 October.
• On paper, Zetrix reported RM540.58 million in net profit for H1 2026 with RM541.6 million in cash. However, it carried RM1.34 billion in long-term borrowings, RM853 million in short-term debt commitments, and RM3.73 billion in capitalised development costs — demonstrating that paper profit is not liquid cash.
⚖️ The Pos Malaysia Contrast
• Pos Malaysia reported a net loss of RM63 million for H1 2026, yet has no standoff with the government. Why? Pos Malaysia’s losses are its own and it holds no government money, operating under regulatory support while continuing as an active renewal channel.
• A loss-making operator hurts its shareholders; a collection agent delaying government remittance hurts its principal.
Closing Thought:
When a long-standing partner that always paid after one reminder fails to remit after 35 reminders and an unhonoured cheque, the core question remains: where did the cash go? https://youtu.be/5VIRpIVgdZ8?si=ssvlYDDMdKOLQ3cY
Rich on Paper, Broke in Cash: The Landmarks Story 🏨📉
How does a resort developer with massive asset holdings end up facing delisting at just 3.5 sen?
Here is what went wrong with Landmarks Berhad:
🔹 The Big Bet: Backed by Genting (which holds ~21.7%), Landmarks spent RM764 million in 2007–2008 acquiring the developer of Treasure Bay Bintan in Ind
you can look at ZETRIX 2025 annual report. Top 30 shareholders page (position as of 1Apr26). MBSB holding some TS Wong shares (pledged to MBSB). Among all those pledged shares, MBSB position is the 3rd highest.
As of 18 Sept 2026, CGS lawyer sent demand letter TS Wong to ask for RM73mil.
BUT 1 thing to note is... For those pledged shares as collateral for financing, we do not know how much has MBSB lent to TS Wong. And whether has MBSB recovered all its exposure by selling the shares

Alliance Bank could be the top 4 lender to TS Wong, Zetrix AI CEO (by looking at the size of pledged shares as of Apr 2026 in Zetrix annual report). Will the coming quarter report by impacted?
