City Hall mayor Mohd Amin Nordin Abdul Aziz said yesterday he had met Lim last year to explain the app.
“But it (the app) was only launched in July this year. So it is impossible that he met me last year.
“He might have mistaken me for some other Lim from MCA or other organisations,” Lim said during a press conference in DAP headquarters today.
Yesterday, Amin said Kuala Lumpur City Hall was prepared to cooperate and provide the necessary information to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) if it investigated its app.
Lim, at a press conference yesterday, had urged MACC to look into why RM2.9 million of taxpayers’ money was used to develop the app.
He had said the app only gave traffic information but did not help motorists navigate through traffic, unlike other apps like Waze and Google Maps, which are free.
The eDrive app is being tested by City Hall which provides live feed of traffic and available parking spots in the city.
It is linked to the existing integrated transport information system (ITIS) and the app can be downloaded from Google Play and Apple’s App Store.
