KAMPAR, October 31 — The Public Service Department (PSD) remains uncertain about the extent of compliance with the recent ban on the Waze navigation application among civil servants, as the compliance rate has not yet been determined. Director-General of Public Service Tan Sri Dr Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz stated that the government had only recently announced the directive and that civil servants were advised against using Waze due to security concerns.
He expressed confidence in the seriousness with which civil servants would adhere to the ban, citing lessons learned from the misuse of the application in other countries. The ban, imposed on October 21, aims to safeguard government information and users' personal data from potential misuse by the Israeli regime, as Waze Mobile Ltd, the application's data controller, is incorporated and operates under Israeli law.
Meanwhile, the PSD allocated RM1.465 million to improve infrastructure, upgrade public facilities, and support educational programs under the Kampung dan Sekolah Angkat Madani program for residents of Kampung Kota Bharu and students at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Malim Nawar.
