Govt wants Malaysians to ditch Waze for Tuju but the app is barely usable

Malaysia's government is encouraging a switch from Waze to locally developed navigation apps such as Tuju, and civil servants are banned from using Waze during official duties following a National Cyber Security Committee (JKSN) decision; PM Anwar Ibrahim recommended Tuju, developed by Prosignal Consortium Sdn Bhd for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM). A SoyaCincau review found Tuju's turn-by-turn guidance repeatedly said generic things like "keep straight" and "merge", lacked lane guidance and live traffic data, sometimes displayed raw HTML instead of instructions, and lacked Android Auto and CarPlay support.

Why: For Malaysian builders and founders, this is a concrete case of a government-endorsed local app failing basic product QA while being positioned as a Waze replacement. If you build or pitch govt-facing software, treat lane guidance, live traffic, clean instruction rendering, and car-platform support as release blockers rather than nice-to-haves, because official endorsement will not protect you from usability failure.
