Lim Guan Eng demands govt reveal cost, tender process and approval behind ‘national embarrassment’ TuJu app

Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng has urged the Malaysian federal government to reveal the cost, tender process, and approval details for the TuJu navigation app, developed by Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd and owned by the Malaysian Highway Authority.

The app's shortcomings have led to national embarrassment after Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim directed civil servants to use it over Waze, citing sovereignty and security concerns related to Israeli interference.

Lim questioned the suitability and experience of individuals on the company's board and demanded transparency and accountability on the decision-making process.

The National Cyber Security Agency clarified the Waze ban is limited to official duties, despite previous security concerns.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng today called on the federal government to disclose how much the TuJu road navigation app cost, whether it was awarded through an open tender, and who approved it.

The DAP lawmaker said the app’s failure had become a national embarrassment after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim barred civil servants from using Waze and pointed them to TuJu instead, over sovereignty concerns and the security risk of possible interference by the Israeli government.

TuJu is owned by the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) and was developed by Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd (PCSB).

Lim said the app was launched on November 26, 2025, as a locally developed highway navigation tool, and has been in continuous development for four years since 2022.

“Questions are raised as to how the Prime Minister can be deceived to recommend TuJu when it is defective at best and completely unusable at worst,” he said in a statement.

He claimed that PCSB’s board of directors includes individuals associated with opposition parties. He said there is nothing wrong with opposition politicians securing government contracts, but argued that these directors have no track record or expertise in technology, software engineering or road navigation apps.

“Was there a proper open tender exercise and due diligence carried out as well as who approved a failed TuJu road navigation application?” he asked, adding that the public is still waiting to learn how much was paid to develop the app.

He said the government must come clean in the public interest, to uphold accountability and transparency and “keep the reformist spirit alive”.

The ban on Waze was decided at a National Cyber Security Committee meeting, with Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar instructing department heads to ensure it was implemented immediately.

Anwar said on Tuesday that the government was looking into security risks arising from Waze, which he said was bound by Israeli laws.

The National Cyber Security Agency later clarified that the ban applies only to civil servants on official duty, though it still encouraged them to uninstall Waze and switch to a local alternative.

LLM apologised yesterday for disruptions to TuJu, attributing them to a surge in new users after Anwar’s call, while users also complained about its navigation and route accuracy.

Waze has rejected claims that it collects sensitive government information or allows any party to exploit users’ personal data, calling them false.

峇眼国会议员林冠英敦促马来西亚联邦政府公布TuJu导航应用程序的成本、招标过程和审批详情。该应用程序由Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd开发，归马来西亚公路管理局所有。

该应用程序的缺陷导致国家蒙羞。总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣指示公务员使用该应用程序而不是 Waze，理由是出于主权和安全考虑，担心以色列的干预。

林先生质疑公司董事会成员的资格和经验，并要求决策过程透明且负责。

尽管此前存在安全隐患，但国家网络安全局澄清，Waze 的禁令仅限于公务用途。

吉隆坡，10月23日讯——蒲甘国会议员林冠英今日呼吁联邦政府公开TuJu道路导航应用程序的成本，是否通过公开招标授予，以及由谁批准。

民主行动党议员表示，在首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣以主权问题和以色列政府可能干预的安全风险为由，禁止公务员使用Waze并转而使用TuJu之后，该应用程序的失败已成为国家的耻辱。

TuJu 由马来西亚公路管理局 (LLM) 所有，由 Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd (PCSB) 开发。

林先生表示，该应用程序于 2025 年 11 月 26 日推出，是一款本地开发的公路导航工具，自 2022 年以来已持续开发了四年。

他在一份声明中说：“人们不禁要问，首相怎么会被蒙蔽，推荐TuJu，而TuJu充其量是有缺陷的，最坏的情况是完全无法使用。”

他声称，PCSB的董事会成员中包括一些与反对党有关联的人士。他表示，反对党政客获得政府合同本身并无不妥，但这些董事在技术、软件工程或道路导航应用程序方面缺乏经验和专业知识。

他问道：“是否进行了正规的公开招标和尽职调查？是谁批准了失败的途居道路导航应用程序？”他还补充说，公众仍在等待了解开发该应用程序支付了多少费用。

他表示，为了公众利益，政府必须公开透明，维护问责制和透明度，并“保持改革精神”。

国家网络安全委员会会议决定禁止使用 Waze，政府首席秘书丹斯里沙姆斯·阿兹里·阿布·巴卡尔指示各部门负责人确保立即执行该禁令。

安瓦尔周二表示，政府正在调查Waze带来的安全风险，并称Waze受以色列法律约束。

国家网络安全局后来澄清说，该禁令仅适用于执行公务的公务员，但仍然鼓励他们卸载 Waze 并改用本地替代应用。

LLM昨天就TuJu服务中断一事道歉，并将此归咎于安华发出呼吁后新用户激增，同时用户也抱怨其导航和路线准确性。

Waze否认了有关其收集敏感政府信息或允许任何一方利用用户个人数据的说法，称这些说法不实。
