DAP MP Lim Guan Eng criticised the Tuju navigation app as a "national embarrassment" and called for accountability in its development as a Waze replacement.

Lim expressed concern over the app's ineffectiveness and questioned the advice given to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim regarding its adequacy.

He urged the National Cyber Security Committee to redesign the app, highlighting the need for robust navigation functions to protect national security interests.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 — DAP MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng has described the locally developed Tuju navigation app as a “national embarrassment,” calling for accountability over its rollout as a Waze replacement.

In a press statement issued today, Lim said that whoever convinced Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that Tuju was technologically adequate should be punished.

According to Lim, user feedback indicates that relying on the app currently leaves users worse off, and he has received complaints regarding its ineffectiveness.

“Malaysians support replacing Waze applications that endanger security risks concerning information and data on citizens’ movements, when it is subject to the laws of the Israeli government, but not an application that is defective at best and at failure at worst,” he said.

While acknowledging support for protecting national security interests, Lim stressed that proper due diligence and stringent testing are necessary to ensure any replacement can match Waze’s basic navigation functions.

He also questioned the cost of developing the app and whether its designers had sought expert advice from professionals in the US, Europe, China or Japan.

Lim stated that the Prime Minister had been “wrongly advised” on the matter.

He urged Anwar to return to the drawing board and task the National Cyber Security Committee (NSC) with developing a vastly improved version of Tuju.

“How can the NSC be expected to do its job to ward off evolving cyber threats, strengthen the nation’s preparedness and digital sovereignty when it cannot even fulfil users’ road navigation needs?” he asked.

民主行动党议员林冠英批评 Tuju 导航应用程序是“国家的耻辱”，并呼吁对其作为 Waze 替代品的开发过程进行问责。

林冠英对该应用程序的无效性表示担忧，并质疑向总理安华·易卜拉欣提出的关于该应用程序是否充分的建议。

他敦促国家网络安全委员会重新设计该应用程序，强调需要强大的导航功能来保护国家安全利益。

吉隆坡，10 月 22 日讯——民主行动党峇眼区国会议员林冠英称本地开发的 Tuju 导航应用程序是“国家的耻辱”，并呼吁对其作为 Waze 替代品的推广进行问责。

林冠英今天发表新闻声明称，任何说服首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣相信Tuju在技术上足够好的人都应该受到惩罚。

林表示，用户反馈表明，目前依赖该应用程序反而会让用户处境更糟，而且他还收到了有关该应用程序无效的投诉。

他说：“马来西亚人支持替换那些危及公民出行信息和数据安全风险的Waze应用程序，前提是这些应用程序受到以色列政府法律的约束；但他们不支持替换那些充其量有缺陷、最坏情况下会彻底失败的应用程序。”

林先生在承认支持保护国家安全利益的同时，强调必须进行适当的尽职调查和严格的测试，以确保任何替代品都能达到 Waze 的基本导航功能。
