Make explanation on TuJu glitches public, says MP

A Malaysian opposition politician has called for the public release of an explanation regarding glitches experienced by the TuJu navigation application. Tan Sri Lim Lip Eng, representing the Kepong constituency, welcomed a government statement demanding accountability for potentially misleading information about TuJu's capabilities.

Lim urged the Ministry of Works to instruct the Land Transport Department (LLM) to provide a written, evidence-backed explanation within seven days. This explanation must detail the briefing offered to the Prime Minister, the selection of Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd for app development, potential conflicts of interest, user data security, and any financial liabilities faced by LLM.

The information should be made public for public scrutiny, except for strictly confidential data. Lim emphasized that if proven negligence or misconduct occurred, strict action must be taken. He stated that subordinates should not face punishment if decisions were made at the top management level. Prosignal, the TuJu app developer, had stated their intention to address the navigation function issues, aiming to complete the restoration and improvements by November 6.

Users had been advised to switch to TuJu following a government ban on Waze due to security worries.
