The app is solely owned by MCMC on behalf of the government and it assured that it was committed to protecting users’ personal data. — Apple

UPDATE: The National Security Council (NSC) tweeted it is not assessing or validating MCMC’s Gerak Malaysia app, as it is working with the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (Mosti) on combining two apps released earlier – My Sejahtera and My Trace.

Mosti Minister Khairy Jamaluddin responded to a tweet by The Star, saying that the Gerak Malaysia app was not currently approved by the ministry due to its location data tracking.
