Guan Eng urges Anwar to scrap TuJu, call open tender for new navigation app for civil servants

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng today urged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to abandon the TuJu navigation app, find a reliable temporary replacement for Waze and hold an open tender for young Malaysians to design a new road navigation application.

The DAP lawmaker said he had received complaints from civil servants who were confused over which navigation app to use following the government’s ban on Waze, which was to be replaced by TuJu, developed by the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) and Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd.

“TuJu has turned out to be a national embarrassment and failed miserably following the directive to 1.7 million civil servants by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to switch to TuJu over national security concerns,” he said in a statement today.

Lim said LLM chairman and Simpang Renggam MP Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad had “further muddied the waters” by admitting that TuJu was developed primarily to improve services along tolled highways rather than to compete directly with Waze.

He noted that Hasni had described TuJu as an additional service for tolled highway users, providing traffic updates, information on rest areas, locations of enforcement cameras and emergency assistance contacts, rather than a navigation app covering all roads.

Lim also highlighted Hasni’s remark that TuJu could perhaps be expanded to federal, municipal and village roads in 10 to 15 years.

“In other words, TuJu is not ready now for 1.7 million civil servants,” Lim said.

“Clearly the Prime Minister has been badly misled that TuJu can rival or be an adequate replacement to Waze, especially when TuJu was not selected by open tender,” he added.

Lim questioned how civil servants were expected to find their way around when they could neither use Waze nor rely on TuJu, which he said had since been disabled.

“Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should bail out the country’s 1.7 million civil servants by pressing the reset button on seeking an alternative to Waze, by abandoning the failed TuJu and finding a reliable temporary replacement, as well as conducting an open tender for young Malaysians to design a new and effective road navigation application,” he said.

吉隆坡，10月29日讯——峇眼国会议员林冠英今日敦促首相拿督斯里安华放弃TuJu导航应用程序，寻找可靠的Waze临时替代品，并公开招标，让马来西亚年轻人设计新的道路导航应用程序。

民主行动党议员表示，他收到了一些公务员的投诉，他们对政府禁止使用 Waze 后应该使用哪个导航应用程序感到困惑。Waze 将由马来西亚高速公路管理局 (LLM) 和 Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd 开发的 TuJu 取代。

“事实证明，TuJu 成了国家的耻辱，在首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣出于国家安全考虑指示 170 万公务员改用 TuJu 之后，TuJu 彻底失败了，”他在今天的一份声明中说。

林先生表示，LLM主席兼新邦令金国会议员拿督斯里哈斯尼·穆罕默德承认TuJu的开发主要是为了改善收费公路沿线的服务，而不是为了与Waze直接竞争，这“进一步混淆了视听”。

他指出，哈斯尼曾将 TuJu 描述为收费公路用户的一项附加服务，提供交通信息更新、休息区信息、执法摄像头位置和紧急援助联系方式，而不是涵盖所有道路的导航应用程序。

林还强调了哈斯尼的观点，即TuJu或许可以在10到15年内扩展到​​联邦、市政和乡村道路。

林说：“换句话说，都朱现在还没有做好迎接170万公务员的准备。”

“显然，总理被严重误导，认为 TuJu 可以与 Waze 相媲美，或者成为 Waze 的合格替代品，尤其是在 TuJu 并非通过公开招标选出的情况下，”他补充道。

林先生质疑，公务员既不能使用 Waze，也不能依赖 TuJu（他表示 TuJu 已被禁用），他们该如何找到路呢？

“拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣应该通过重新寻找Waze的替代方案，放弃失败的TuJu，找到一个可靠的临时替代方案，并公开招标让马来西亚年轻人设计一款新的、有效的道路导航应用程序，来拯救该国170万公务员，”他说。
