LLM defends Prosignal partnership for TuJu app
LLM chairman Hasni Mohammad says the collaboration with Prosignal was approved collectively by the authority’s board.
The Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) has defended its partnership with Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd to develop the TuJu navigation application. This decision came under scrutiny following reports of disruptions and technical issues flagged by users. Hasni Mohammad, LLM chairman, explained that the collaboration originated from a proposal presented by his predecessor, Abdul Rashid Asari, during Rashid’s tenure.
The arrangement was approved by LLM’s board, indicating multiple stakeholders were involved in the decision-making process. Prosignal’s appointment was not based on an open tender since the TuJu project was financed by investors, not government funds. Civil servants have been directed to use TuJu instead of Waze due to national security concerns.
TuJu is designed to complement LLM’s Traffic Management Centre, providing motorists with highway-specific information such as traffic conditions, rest areas, and emergency assistance contacts. The application is not intended to compete with Waze but to meet the specific needs of motorists on tolled highways. LLM has committed to upgrading TuJu, acknowledging that current traffic monitoring capabilities require improvement.
Prosignal has since apologized for the disruptions and stated that its technical team is working to restore and enhance the app’s navigation functions.
