Zetrix AI distances itself from ex-minister facing graft probe
Technology firm Zetrix AI Group Bhd has moved to clarify it has no business dealings or association with a former cabinet minister who faces corruption allegations.
LSN Malaysia ·
KUALA LUMPUR — Zetrix AI Group Bhd issued a categorical denial on Wednesday regarding any connection to a former Human Resources minister currently under investigation for alleged graft offences.
The technology company said in a statement that it has maintained no involvement, association, or business relationship with the former government official. The clarification was issued as the ex-minister faces ongoing scrutiny from Malaysian anti-corruption authorities.
The firm's statement appears aimed at insulating itself from potential reputational damage as investigators examine the former minister's commercial activities and financial dealings. Zetrix AI did not provide further details about the scope of the inquiry or its interactions with authorities.
The development underscores growing public and corporate concern regarding transparency in government procurement and ministerial conduct. Several technology and construction firms have similarly distanced themselves from officials facing corruption investigations in recent months.
