  "summary": "The Public Service Department (PSD) is confident that civil servants will fully comply with the ban on the use of the Waze navigation application, citing security concerns and lessons learned from other countries. The ban, which took effect on October 21, was imposed due to the Israeli regime's potential misuse of user data stored by Waze Mobile Ltd, which is incorporated and operates under Israeli law. The PSD has allocated RM1.465 million for infrastructure improvements and educational programmes under the Kampung dan Sekolah Angkat Madani initiative, including upgrading public facilities and supporting various community activities.",
