An r/malaysia post in Malay reports civil servants are barred from using the Waze navigation app with immediate effect, under an official directive by the Chief Secretary to the Government dated 20 October 2026. The post says the order followed the National Cyber Security Committee meeting chaired by the Prime Minister, citing the app's Israel base. Tracked as a community-shared government technology directive, related to but distinct from the PM's public encouragement of the TuJu app already on the board. Enforcement scope and the full circular are not stated in the post.
