KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — The government is encouraging the public to use the locally developed application, TuJu created by the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) as an alternative for road navigation needs.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this alternative has been proposed due to security risks concerning information and data on citizens’ movements, given that the Waze application is subject to the laws of the Israeli government.
He noted that this matter was among the topics discussed while chairing the third meeting of the National Cyber Security Committee (JKSN) today, which aimed to examine evolving cyber threats and strengthen the nation’s preparedness and digital sovereignty.
“Also discussed were the implementation of the Cyber Security Act 2024, the security of MyDigital ID, preparations to counter threats from quantum computing through post-quantum cryptography (PQC), emerging threats involving autonomous artificial intelligence, and the protection of National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII).
