General : Waze Ban: JPA Confident Of Full Compliance Among Civil Servants
KAMPAR, Oct 31 (Bernama) -- The Public Service Department (JPA) is confident that civil servants will fully comply with the ban on the use of the Waze navigation application.
On October 21, the government in Putrajaya issued a directive banning all civil servants from using the Waze navigation application. This move was taken to safeguard government information and users' personal data from potential misuse by the Israeli regime. Speaking at a JPA programme at SK Kota Baharu, public service director-general Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz expressed confidence that civil servants would fully comply with the ban.
However, he noted that the compliance rate has not yet been determined, as the government recently announced the directive. Wan Ahmad emphasized that civil servants are prohibited from using Waze due to security concerns. He also mentioned that lessons learned from other countries' experiences with the application have been taken into account.
The ban was announced by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who stated that the Israeli company controlling user data, Waze Mobile Ltd, operates under Israeli law.
