The Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), together with its partner Prosignal Consortium, has launched a new navigation app called TuJu today. The name is said to be a portmanteau of “two” (referring to two-way information between LLM and the end user) and “jarak” or “julat” (distance/range).
Entering into a segment already dominated by the likes of Google Maps and Waze, TuJu is claiming several unique features thanks to the public-private partnership. For one, the app provides access to live traffic reports (via Facebook) from LLM’s traffic management centre (TMC) and displays an accurate toll charge calculation, in addition to the usual ETA.
TuJu also shows the full list of R&R locations, as well as available facilities such as restrooms, surau, food outlets, petrol stations and even EV chargers. Users can also access real-time highway CCTV feeds to check for any congestion, accidents or natural disasters.
Just like Waze, users can make reports of any incidents such as road closures and the like. There’s also a link to LLM’s other app MyJalan to make complaints on road and infrastructure damage such as potholes. Last but not least is an SOS button that will enable users to contact emergency services immediately. Under the skin, TuJu uses Google’s mapping and POI data as well as technology from Maybank.
At the moment, TuJu is not accessible through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, although an LLM official told us that there are plans to eventually update the app to support the feature. TuJu is available for iPhone and Android phones via the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

How much taxpayers money spent this time?
Pretty sure this it needs MyDigital ID to login.
Question. Anyone feels that Google Map and Waze is not capable of doing a proper job on Malaysia Highway? What vital and exclusive features that this app have that is not available else where? Do we have massive number of road users that do not have access to Waze/Google Map?
The answer is NO, NO and NO. This a waste of public funds to feed Prosign Consortium to develop and later multi millions dollars every year to maintain. PERIOD!!!
public access to highway cctv is not available thru waze/google right ?
If not project how to cari makan . And I’m sure few months later the app will not work properly.
So, uhh… a reskinned Google map?
Waze users can report a road block, speed camera locarions or police resting by the road side. Can this do the same?
this can view cctvs in real time. can waze do the same?
Pretty sure looking at CCTV while driving isn’t going to help. At least having info on Police and speed camera locations helps you avoid fines.
so does this app tracks your car speed too? i see what you did there…
