Earlier in the week, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim encouraged Malaysians to use the locally developed TuJu highway navigation app, rather than Waze, which is based in Israel. Government servants, on the other hand, were banned from using the latter entirely. Due to the recommendation, though, the app was hit by a sharp increase in users. This, in turn, caused technical disruptions for the app.
In an official statement shared through its official social media channels, the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) said that it is working with the application provider, Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd (PCSB) in identifying the source of the disruption, as well as restoring system stability and improving the app’s capacity to accommodate more users.
