00:00The Malaysian Highway Authority has defended its collaboration with ProSignal Consortium Sendirian Berhad to develop the TUJU navigation application.
00:10LLM Chairman Hasni Mohamad said the partnership stemmed from a proposal by his predecessor, Abdul Rashid Asari, and was collectively
00:20approved by the Authority's Board.
00:22Addressing questions over the absence of an open tender, Hasni maintained that TUJU was financed by investors rather than government
00:31funds.
00:31On potential conflict of interest concerns, Hasni said Rashid, now a ProSignal Director, was no longer LLM Chairman when the
00:40matter was discussed.
00:41Hasni said TUJU was developed to complement LLM's Traffic Management Centre and provide highway-specific information rather than compete directly
00:51with Waze.
00:53He acknowledged LLM's traffic monitoring needed improvement and said the government had instructed him to upgrade TUJU with expansion beyond
01:02tolled highways depending on funding and technical capabilities.
01:06Last week, ProSignal apologized for disruptions to TUJU and said its technical team was working to restore and improve the
01:14app's navigation functions.
