马来西亚总理安瓦尔于周五表示,马来西亚可能会将对地图应用程序Waze的禁令从公务员扩大至全国。他表示,只有在官员们审查过其他应用程序之后,才会实施全面禁令。
Malaysia could extend its ban on the Waze maps app from civil servants to the whole country, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Friday. A full ban would come only after officials look at other apps, he said.
据国家通讯社马新社报道,安瓦尔在吉隆坡对记者发表了上述讲话。他表示,官员们将核实本土公司是否能开发出类似的应用程序。他为造成的麻烦致歉,但表示国家安全高于一切。
Anwar spoke to reporters in Kuala Lumpur, according to Bernama, the national news agency. Officials will check if local firms can build a similar app, he said. He apologised for the trouble caused, but said national security came first.
据《The Edge》报道,政府于10月21日禁止公务员使用Waze。报道称,以色列可能会滥用国家数据和马来西亚人的个人数据。该应用程序由Waze移动有限公司运营,该公司是一家受以色列法律管辖的以色列公司。
The government barred civil servants from using Waze on 21 October, The Edge reported. It said Israel could misuse state data and the personal data of Malaysians. The app is run by Waze Mobile Ltd, an Israeli firm that works under Israeli law.
然而,自2013年被收购以来,Waze一直归谷歌所有。《The Edge》的报道还援引数字部长哥宾·星·德奥周四对议会的话称,谷歌地图和其他应用程序仍可供公众使用。
However, Waze has been owned by Google since a 2013 acquisition. Google Maps and other apps remain available to the public, Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo told parliament on Thursday, The Edge also reported.
哥宾表示,该禁令仅涵盖公务。与此同时,据《马来邮报》报道,国家安全委员会敦促公众考虑卸载Waze。违反禁令的公务员可能会受到惩罚。
Gobind said the ban covers only official duties. Meanwhile, the National Security Council urged the public to consider uninstalling Waze, Malay Mail reported. Civil servants who break the ban could be punished.
Waze反驳了政府的担忧。该公司在给TNGlobal的一封电子邮件中表示,关于其收集敏感政府信息的说法是虚假的。
Waze rejected the government’s concerns. In an email to TNGlobal, it said claims that it collects sensitive government information were false.
该公司告诉TNGlobal:“Waze在严格的隐私政策下运营,这些政策旨在保护用户数据并符合全球法律数据保护标准。”
“Waze operates under strict privacy policies that protect user data and comply with global legal data protection standards,” the company told TNGlobal.
政府希望人们改用TuJu。马来西亚高速公路管理局与Prosignal Consortium联合开发了该应用程序,并于2025年11月将其推出。
The government wants people to use TuJu instead. The Malaysian Highway Authority built the app with Prosignal Consortium and launched it in November 2025.
安瓦尔承认该应用程序尚未完善。高速公路管理局表示,该应用程序仍在修复中。据《马来邮报》报道,iPhone版本预计将于2026年底推出。
Anwar admitted the app is not yet complete. The highway agency says the app is still being fixed. An iPhone version is due by the end of 2026, according to Malay Mail.
