  "account": "Malaysia's government is urging citizens to use the local app TuJu, developed by the Malaysia Road Transport Institute (LLM), as an alternative to the Waze navigation app, according to a recent meeting of the National Cyber Security Council chaired by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. The primary concern is the potential security risks and data privacy issues associated with Waze, which is subject to Israeli law. This proposal was one of the topics discussed during the meeting to investigate the evolution of cyber threats and strengthen the nation's digital preparedness and resilience.\n\nThe meeting also addressed the implementation of the Cybersecurity Act, MyDigital ID safety, preparation for post-quantum computer attacks (PQC), new autonomous artificial intelligence threats, and protection of critical national information infrastructure. The government cannot compromise on data security and citizens' identities. Therefore, the nation is strengthening its identity ecosystem with the physical credential MyKad and MyDigital ID for digital affairs, supported by enhanced cybersecurity measures including PQC preparation, the Prime Minister stated on Facebook. These efforts are crucial to ensuring that digital public service provisions continue to benefit the nation's people without neglecting security, trust, and national stability.",
