MCA Youth Leader Challenges Government Choice of Prosignal for TuJu Navigation App

The head of communications for MCA’s youth wing, Neow Choo Seong, called for a detailed explanation of the procurement that appointed Prosignal Consortium to co-develop the TuJu navigation application with the Malaysian Highway Authority. He asked whether the contract resulted from an open tender or an alternative procurement mechanism, and demanded disclosure of the technical qualifications, assessment criteria, and the total public spending earmarked for the project.

Neow pointed out that social-media users have criticized TuJu for inaccurate directions, lack of speed-limit alerts, and missing compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, questioning its readiness as a viable alternative to Waze. The criticism follows the government’s recent ban on civil servants using Waze, citing data-privacy concerns linked to Israeli law, and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s call for citizens to adopt the home-grown TuJu service.
