Why is Zetrix share price falling?
Five blows in six weeks. Every bar below is a completed session.
- 28 Aug. Limit down, 50% to 29.5 sen. Bursa queried. The reply blamed rumours tying the company to the former Human Resources Minister, charged that day, and called them baseless.
- 1 to 9 Sep. A RM130 million purchase was announced, queried, terminated and re-signed with a new seller. The managing director’s stake fell from 29.5% to 13.1%.
- 14 to 18 Sep. A High Court injunction stopped the 2.89 sen dividend on payment day. Shares down 18% to 20 sen.
- 28 Sep. The external auditor resigned.
- 2 to 5 Oct. The Edge reported over RM200 million of JPJ collections unremitted. JPJ suspended the group as collection agent. The minister said RM314 million. Closes of 11.5 sen, then 6.5 sen.
The timeline, filing by filing
What each side has said
The minister. At an 11am briefing on 5 October, Anthony Loke put the arrears at RM314 million for 19 May to 30 September 2026, after 35 reminders and four meetings. A RM231 million cheque, handed over on 21 August and dated 30 September, was not processed because the company told its bank not to, he said. The suspension stays until the full sum is paid. JPJ services continue through MyJPJ, the portal, counters and kiosks.
“The three-year figure is inaccurate.”
The company. On 28 August: no undisclosed development, no link to the former minister. On 24 September: the dividend moved to 28 September after two nominees intervened in the court case. On 5 October at 8.56am: the JPJ services are suspended and it is “currently in discussion to resolve the issues”. It has not addressed the RM314 million figure or the cheque.
Reported, but not confirmed
- That the September disposals were margin calls. CEO Morning Brief reported it. The filings say “disposed”.
- That RM200 million has been owed since May 2023. The minister says the arrears began in May 2026 and total RM314 million.
- Why the cheque was not processed. The minister’s account is that the company told its bank. The company has not said.
- What the suspension does to revenue. No filing quantifies it. Q3 results, due by 30 November, are the first numbers that will.
