Ahli Parlimen DAP gesa LLM diberi 7 hari jelas isu TuJu

DAP MP Lim Lip Eng has called for the Ministry of Works and Housing (KKR) to instruct the Malaysia Road Transport Authority (LLM) to provide written explanations and evidence within seven days regarding several issues related to the TuJu project. Lim stated that the explanation should cover training given to the Prime Minister, the selection of Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd, potential conflicts of interest, user data security, and any financial assistance to LLM.

He also wants the explanation to be made public so that the public can independently assess the matter, except for truly sensitive information. "If proven to be serious misconduct or dishonest, strict action must be taken," Lim said in a statement. Yesterday, a KKR spokesperson, Fahmi Fadzil, said that the top management of LLM must be accountable if the government is given inaccurate or misleading information about TuJu's capabilities.

He discussed Hasni Mohammad's explanation that TuJu was originally developed to improve highway services and not to directly compete with Waze. Hasni raised concerns about whether LLM and Prosignal were providing an accurate picture of TuJu's function during a safety summit with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on October 20. Those who did not attend the summit said that if information given to the National Safety Council was misleading, it could not be taken lightly.

On October 20, Anwar urged Malaysians to switch from Waze to TuJu, highlighting concerns about user data security and movement data due to Waze's connection to Israel. Subsequent government directives restricting the use of Waze among civil servants and efforts to promote TuJu sparked comparisons between the two applications. However, TuJu has since received complaints about technical glitches and shortcomings in navigation due to increased user numbers.

Prosignal has apologized for the inconvenience and assured that their technical team is working to resolve and improve the application's navigation function.
