KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — DAP national publicity secretary Yeo Bee Yin has cautioned the federal government against rushing into a blanket nationwide ban on the Waze navigation application, warning that a sudden prohibition would disrupt daily commutes, logistics, and gig-economy livelihoods for more than six million active Malaysian motorists.
The Puchong MP expressed serious concern over remarks by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who announced yesterday that Putrajaya has not ruled out a total ban once viable domestic alternatives mature.
“A policy decision of this scale must not be made in haste or taken lightly. It directly impacts over six million active Malaysian road users who depend on real-time navigation daily for their livelihoods, commutes, and logistics,” she said in a statement.
