Anwar says Waze ban was ‘spontaneous’ decision over Israeli links

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim justified the prohibition of Waze for civil servants as a spontaneous decision aimed at safeguarding national security, noting that the decision had not been discussed with the Cabinet.

Anwar explained that Waze's headquarters are in Israel and its data governance is subject to Israeli laws, potentially compromising sensitive information.

He emphasized that immediate action was necessary to prevent any security risks.

AMPANG, Oct 23 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today defended the ban on Waze for civil servants, describing it as a spontaneous decision to protect national security, while acknowledging that the matter had not been deliberated by the Cabinet.

“It’s not the government that is the problem. When we checked Waze’s headquarters is in Israel,” he told reporters after performing Friday prayers here.

“Then a check on the contract showed Waze is governed only by Israeli laws. This is why I had to take a spontaneous decision because we cannot afford to delay even a single day since all data are automatically handed to the Israeli government,” he added.

“We cannot compromise on national security.”

安邦，10月23日讯——首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣今日为禁止公务员使用Waze导航软件的决定辩护，称此举是为了保护国家安全而做出的自发决定，同时他也承认内阁并未就此事进行过讨论。

“问题不在于政府。我们调查后发现，Waze的总部位于以色列，”他在周五祈祷结束后告诉记者。

“后来我们查阅了合同，发现Waze只受以色列法律管辖。正因如此，我不得不当机立断做出决定，因为我们一天都不能耽搁，所有数据都会自动移交给以色列政府，”他补充道。
