Malaysian Road Transport Department enforcement actions

Overview

The Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) has initiated strict enforcement actions regarding unpaid fines and compliance issues.

In September 2026, JPJ issued a 14-day ultimatum to 940 goods vehicle companies and five bus companies to settle RM12.18 million in outstanding traffic fines accumulated between 2023 and 2026. Director-General Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli warned that failure to clear these dues would result in the suspension of operating permits via the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) and the potential impounding of vehicles.

By October 2026, enforcement expanded to include collection agents. JPJ suspended My E.G. Sdn. Bhd. and Zetrix AI Berhad, both part of the MYEG Group, effective October 5. While initial reports suggested Zetrix AI owed more than RM200 million, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) later clarified that the companies failed to transfer RM314 million in government revenue collected between May 19 and September 30, 2026.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke stated that the government issued 35 notices and held four engagement sessions prior to the suspension. Loke noted that although MYEG submitted a RM231 million cheque on September 30, the company subsequently instructed the bank not to process the payment. Zetrix AI has since submitted a proposed solution to address the outstanding remittances and expressed regret over the public inconvenience.

The government intends to pursue legal action to recover the full amount, including potential interest. To prevent service disruption, the MOT noted that citizens can continue JPJ transactions through the MyJPJ app, official portals, physical counters, and kiosks. All JPJ services previously offered through MYEG Group channels have been suspended, though existing driving theory examination bookings made before the deadline will be honored.
