Malaysian official calls for accountability over TuJu navigation application
What happened
Government spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil stated that the senior management of the TuJu Malaysian Highway Authority must be held accountable if the government was provided with inaccurate information regarding the capabilities of the TuJu navigation application. This comment followed clarification from LLM chairperson Hasni Mohammad, who stated that TuJu was developed to improve services along tolled highways, not to function as a full-fledged navigation application like Waze. Fahmi Fadzil made these remarks after commenting on a briefing from the National Security Council.
