Guan Eng gesa kerajaan hentikan TuJu

Pengkalan Hulu, Malaysia - Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng, has urged the government to cease using the local navigation app TuJu, which has been plagued by technical issues and a surge in user numbers since its launch. During a statement, Lim also quoted Hasni Mohammad, the Chairperson of the Malaysia Road Transport Institute (LLM), who stated that TuJu was not designed to directly compete with Waze, as reported by Malaysiakini.

Hasni further explained that TuJu's aim was to provide users with real-time traffic information on highways, but it could be expanded in the future to include state roads, urban roads, and rural roads within the next 10 to 15 years, a timeline criticized by Lim. "TuJu performed terribly," Lim stated in a press release. Despite this, the app is still not ready to be used by the estimated 1.7 million government employees.

The Prime Minister was given a misleading impression that TuJu could challenge or replace Waze, Lim claimed.

Last week, Anwar barred government employees from using Waze, developed by Israel, due to concerns over personal data security and the accuracy of real-time movement information. This decision sparked social media complaints, with users reporting unreliable navigation, lack of timely updates on current events, and technical glitches. Prosignal apologized for the disruptions and said its technical team would improve the app's functionality within two weeks.
