The Malaysian government is promoting the use of TuJu, a locally developed road navigation app, as a secure alternative to Waze, due to concerns about data security under Israeli jurisdiction.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim highlighted this during the National Cyber Security Committee meeting, emphasizing the need to address evolving cyber threats and preserve digital sovereignty.

The meeting also covered topics like the Cyber Security Act 2024, MyDigital ID security, and countering quantum computing threats, all aimed at maintaining public trust and national security.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — The government is encouraging the public to use the locally developed application, TuJu created by the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) as an alternative for road navigation needs.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this alternative has been proposed due to security risks concerning information and data on citizens’ movements, given that the Waze application is subject to the laws of the Israeli government.

He noted that this matter was among the topics discussed while chairing the third meeting of the National Cyber Security Committee (JKSN) today, which aimed to examine evolving cyber threats and strengthen the nation’s preparedness and digital sovereignty.

“Also discussed were the implementation of the Cyber Security Act 2024, the security of MyDigital ID, preparations to counter threats from quantum computing through post-quantum cryptography (PQC), emerging threats involving autonomous artificial intelligence, and the protection of National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII).

“We cannot compromise when it comes to the security of our citizens’ data and identities. Therefore, the government is strengthening an integrated identity ecosystem utilising MyKad as a physical credential and MyDigital ID for digital transactions supported by more robust cyber protections, including preparations for future threats via PQC,” he said in a Facebook post.

The prime minister emphasised that these efforts are crucial to ensuring that the digitalization of public services continues to benefit the people, without compromising security, public trust, or national sovereignty. — Bernama

由于担心以色列司法管辖下的数据安全问题，马来西亚政府正在推广使用本地开发的道路导航应用程序 TuJu，作为 Waze 的安全替代方案。

首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣在国家网络安全委员会会议上强调了这一点，指出需要应对不断演变的网络威胁并维护数字主权。

会议还讨论了《2024 年网络安全法案》、MyDigital ID 安全以及应对量子计算威胁等议题，所有这些议题都旨在维护公众信任和国家安全。

吉隆坡，10 月 20 日讯——政府鼓励公众使用由马来西亚公路管理局 (LLM) 开发的本地应用程序 TuJu，作为道路导航的替代方案。

马来西亚总理拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣表示，鉴于 Waze 应用程序受以色列政府法律管辖，存在公民出行信息和数据安全风险，因此提出了这一替代方案。

他指出，此事是今天主持召开的全国网络安全委员会（JKSN）第三次会议讨论的议题之一，该会议旨在审查不断演变的网络威胁，并加强国家的防范能力和数字主权。

“双方还讨论了 2024 年网络安全法案的实施、MyDigital ID 的安全、通过后量子密码学 (PQC) 应对量子计算威胁的准备工作、涉及自主人工智能的新兴威胁以及国家关键信息基础设施 (NCII) 的保护。

“在公民数据和身份安全问题上，我们绝不能妥协。因此，政府正在加强一体化的身份生态系统，利用MyKad作为实体凭证，MyDigital ID用于数字交易，并辅以更强大的网络安全保护措施，包括通过PQC应对未来的威胁，”他在Facebook帖子中写道。

首相强调，这些努力对于确保公共服务的数字化持续造福人民至关重要，同时又不损害安全、公众信任或国家主权。——马新社
