Former Tuaran PKR chief Razeef Rakimin has demanded clarity from Transport Minister Anthony Loke regarding the RM314 million in arrears that have accumulated at Zetrix, the toll plaza operator. Rakimin's call for accountability highlights concerns over the ministry's monitoring mechanisms and their apparent failure to detect the financial irregularities in a timely manner.
The significant arrears figure raises questions about the adequacy of oversight protocols within the transport ministry's purview. Rakimin has specifically asked Loke to explain where the ministry's supervision system fell short, suggesting there may have been systemic gaps in financial governance at Zetrix.
The accumulation of such substantial arrears typically indicates prolonged management issues that should have been flagged earlier through robust regulatory oversight. As the ministry responsible for toll operations, the transport department faces scrutiny over how the RM314 million debt went unchecked for an extended period.
Loke's response to these questions is anticipated as stakeholders await clarification on what corrective measures have been implemented to strengthen oversight and prevent similar situations from recurring in the future.
