KUALA LUMPUR — Bagan Member of Parliament Lim Guan Eng has called on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to discard the TuJu navigation application and initiate a transparent tendering process for a replacement system aimed at civil servants.
The DAP politician raised concerns over the current approach to the app's development and deployment within the public sector. Lim suggested that an open tender mechanism would ensure better value for money and accountability in the procurement of such digital infrastructure.
The intervention follows ongoing scrutiny of government digital initiatives and their implementation methods. Lim's appeal reflects broader concerns within the opposition over transparency in technology procurement by federal agencies.
The TuJu app has been positioned as a navigation tool designed to assist civil servants, though details regarding its specific functions and rollout timeline remain limited. The call for an alternative procurement approach underscores differing views on how government technology projects should be managed and funded.
No immediate response from the Prime Minister's office has been reported regarding the proposal to scrap the existing initiative in favour of a competitive tendering process.
