Myeg, zetrix coin on track to break all time high.

Bitcoin surged past US$80,000 for the first time on Sunday, driven by the incoming president’s support for digital assets and the election of pro-crypto lawmakers

Trump claimed that “crypto has got a great future. I think it really does. Maybe we will pay off the $35 trillion national debt in crypto.

Trump’s comments at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, where he said, “I pledge to the Bitcoin community that the day I take the oath of office, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ anti-crypto crusade will be over,” stating firmly that “it will end. It will be done.”

Trump and republican will end Democrats’ unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency. We will defend the right to mine Bitcoin, and ensure every American has the right to self-custody of their Digital Assets, and transact free from Government Surveillance and Control

Myeg cryptocurrency, zetrix, is worth multibillion in USD market capitalization

Trump is cryptocurrency supporter.

NIIse now become catalyst instead of threat to myeg as it now become earning accretive to myeg for next 5 year through co-development Niise system + equity account of its 15% stake in heitech. and even after completion NISSE after 5 year, myeg immigration service will still able to integrate into NIIse system such as foreign worker insurance, foreign worker job matching, foreign worker accommodation.

Thus, its right time to buyback myeg after it have successfully eliminating Niise uncertainty from negative become positive while continue develop Zetrix which have now issue 226.9M coin at market price USD 3.74 billion, a massive increase if compared to just a month ago in Sept which issue coin only at 174.7M coin at market price USD 2.8 billion

Previously, NIISe is the biggest threat to myeg exiting immigration concession. But, now, table turn, myeg indirectly through Heitech involve in co-development entire NIISE for 5 year period. These co-development is ensure as Myeg is now largest shareholder of heitech, and as myeg posses high expertise in e-government, such co-development will much rely on myeg instead of heitech, a like out-source all to myeg, while Heitech act more like project owner in which myeg also entitle equity profit through 15% stakeholder

Hence, in next 5 year time Myeg will add ADDITIANOAL profit from NIISE and even after completion NISSE, myeg immigration service will still able to integrate into NIIse system such as foreign worker insurance, foreign worker job matching, foreign worker accommodation.

The Agreement paves the way for the two companies -- well-established leaders in the
country’s technology space – to combine their respective strengths and expertise in
fulfilling the trust given to execute significant e-government projects. These include
current and future projects in which either one party is involved.

Recognizing the significance of these key projects for the nation, MYEG and HeiTech are
collaborating to deploy cutting-edge technologies, driving the digital transformation of the
public sector. This partnership aims to deliver efficient government services to end-users,
both Malaysians and non-Malaysians, at consistently high standards.
The Agreement outlines the respective roles and responsibilities of the partners in
collaborating in the areas of marketing activities, sharing of related know-how, and system
integration of Information and Technology Solution for identified projects to potential
customers.
Recently, HeiTech secured a contract from the Road Transport Department Malaysia to
build, supply, deliver, install, configure, integrate, test and commission its hardware,
software and digital systems. The company was also awarded the National Integrated
Immigration System (NIIse) project by the Immigration Department.

Having commenced operations nearly 25 years ago, MYEG looks forward to drawing on
its proven track record and technological capabilities to support and complement HeiTech
for the benefit of all stakeholders.

In Malaysia, MYEG has served a variety of government agencies over the years in
Malaysia, including the Immigration Department, the Road Transport Department, the
Ministry of Health and many others.

Beyond Malaysia, MYEG is the leading e-government services provider in the Philippines,
partnering with the likes of the National Bureau of Investigation, PhilHealth, the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Bureau of Internal Revenue and more.

More recently, leveraging on its emergence as a leader in the Web 3 space, MYEG is
pioneering real-world blockchain applications through collaborations with leading Chinese
government agencies such as the General Administration of Customs of the People’s
Republic of China and China Academy of Information and Communications Technology
to power cross-border transactions in the region

Remark: Myeg is largest shareholder control 15% heitech and WTS also on his own direct control another 1 % heitech

As myeg will co-design and co-develop NiiSSE, it will ensure that its immigration concession service still relevant even after NiSSE complete in 5 year time

Since Heitech NiiSE is co-develop with myeg for next 5 year, then, myeg should benefit a lot during these 5 year development period.

GEORGE TOWN: Penang has given two thumbs up to the announcement of the implementation of the Juru- Sungai Dua Elevated Highway project presented in the 2025 Budget by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today.

"The Prime Minister's announcement regarding this project is highly welcomed. We hope its implementation can be expedited due to its urgent necessity," said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.

The RM1.8 billion Juru-Sungai Dua Elevated Highway was one of the key projects that Penang submitted to Putrajaya.

Additionally, he expressed appreciation for the announcement of a new Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) in the Seberang Prai area, which he said would enhance the quality of public services at UTC @ Komtar

Regarding the development agenda for wakaf land by federal agencies, Chow said that the state government supported UDA Holdings Berhad's initiatives, as they aligned with requests from various parties, including NGOs, to redevelop Malay settlements and increase property holdings, particularly on the island.


Furthermore, he said the budget had announced several other federal project implementations specifically for Penang, including the raw water supply project from the Perak River for water supply in northern Perak and Penang, the Penang Light Rail Transit (LRT), the expansion of Penang International Airport (PIA) and the Batu Kawan Industrial Park 3.

All these projects are expected to contribute significantly to the state's overall development. Therefore, I hope their implementation will be expedited and adhere to the proposed timelines," he said.

On the education front, Chow said Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) was pursuing AI semiconductors in line with Malaysia's status as a global semiconductor hub, enhancing collaborations with companies like Intel and Infineon.
