Phone and UI
Your phone is your hub for almost everything in Sumaya: jobs, quests, emergency calls, settings, and more. This page covers every app, plus the rest of the in-game HUD (minimap, task card, chat).
Opening the phone
Tap the phone icon on your screen. The phone slides up and shows a grid of apps. You can have it open while walking and driving.
To close it, tap outside the phone or use the close button.
Loading and transition overlays
When you join, respawn, or move through the main menu, Sumaya may show a loading overlay with the logo and rotating Malaysia facts. This is normal transition UI; it fades when the menu or character state is ready.
Phone apps
Sumaya has 14 app entries plus the home screen. Some apps only show when they make sense: Emergency999 needs your character to be spawned, and MDT is for emergency-service teams.
Settings
Customise your phone's look:
- Phone colour - the device chassis.
- Casing colour - inside trim.
- Wallpaper - gradient (customisable colours), solid, or custom image.
Camera
An in-game camera app. Take photos of whatever's on screen. Good for house showcases, scenic moments, or capturing that 5-star arrest.
Help
Built-in quick reference for phone and gameplay basics.
Profile
See your player profile:
- Current player level and progress.
- Your sector levels and ranks (one per sector you've worked).
- Achievements / stats.
Residence
Your housing app:
- Browse and claim plots.
- Buy a house template.
- Enter placement mode for furniture.
- Lock / unlock doors.
- Toggle lights.
- Sell your house.
See Housing.
Careers
Civilian career hub:
- See available civilian sectors (Fishing, Service, Agro).
- Check your sector levels and ranks.
- See which sector you're currently on shift with.
- Start or end a job (though you still need to be at the career station to clock in).
See Careers overview.
Passive
Toggle Passive Mode:
- On: you're invulnerable; you can't damage or be damaged by other players. You also can't commit crimes.
- Off: regular PvP / offence rules apply.
Useful for roleplay scenes, or if you just want to drive around without getting randomly attacked.
Important details:
- You start in passive mode every time you join the game. It's the default state, not something you need to opt into.
- Law enforcement (POLIS) never passes passive. Cops are permanently non-passive and can't use this toggle.
- Equipping a crime tool drops you out of passive automatically. Pick up a Slim Jim or Pickpocket Knife and you can't be passive until you drop it.
- Wanted players can't re-enable passive. Once your wanted stars decay, it re-enables on its own.
- After certain offences (speeding, crashes, crime) the passive toggle is locked for a duration (the "passive lock"). See Crime and Law for the per-star lock durations.
Collision
Toggle vehicle collisions:
- Enabled: normal vehicle-vs-vehicle physics.
- Disabled: your vehicle phases through other vehicles.
Useful for parking in tight spots or escaping a crash pile-up. See Vehicles.
Cinematic
A free-roam camera mode. Move your viewpoint around independently of your character for dramatic angles or film-style shots. Some camera moves can also add focus and depth-of-field while the mode is active. Great for recording, not much use for gameplay.
Quest
View your current quest chain progress:
- See the active quest and its steps.
- Read quest descriptions.
- Track how much progress you've made.
- Dismiss the task card or re-show it.
The welcome quest chain auto-starts on first join and runs through 12 quests. See Quests.
Jelajah (discovery journal)
Your guide to Sumaya's landmarks. The Jelajah app shows every Point of Interest in town and which ones you've visited:
- A progress pill at the top, such as "3 / 10 ditemui" ("found").
- Filters: Semua (all), Ditemui (discovered), Belum (not yet).
- A scrollable list of cards. Discovered POIs show a coloured category dot, the landmark name, and a short description. Locked POIs show as ??? with just the category visible.
- Tap a card for the detail screen - full description, reward summary, and (if you've already discovered it) a Baca Maklumat button to re-open the landmark's infographic.
When you visit a POI for the first time, the app shows a Ditemui: name toast and the entry flips from locked to discovered. POI rewards drop into your bank account automatically.
The current POI list includes Menara Jam, Pasar Sumaya, and Pantai Sumaya, but some landmark visits may not unlock yet. If that happens, try another landmark and check back after future updates.
Emergency999
Any civilian can dial 999 from this app. It:
- Opens a dispatch screen where you pick which service(s) you need, the reason, and (optionally) a custom note up to 140 characters.
- Notifies all on-duty POLIS, BOMBA, or Kesihatan players via their MDT.
- Attaches your location automatically - resolved to the nearest of 8 named landmarks: Town Centre, Kampung North, Kampung South, Pasaram, Mamak Row, Police Station, Fire Station, Hospital.
- Has a 10-second cooldown per caller before you can submit another call - don't spam.
Calls auto-close after 30 minutes if a dispatcher doesn't handle them, so roleplay scenarios that end up un-responded don't clutter the MDT forever.
Use this for roleplay scenarios (call for a fire, report a crime, need medical).
MDT (Mobile Data Terminal)
Visible only on emergency-service teams (POLIS, BOMBA, Kesihatan). The MDT is your dispatch console:
- Calls tab - active 999 calls. See who's calling, where, and why. Set a waypoint or mark a call as responded.
- Wanted tab (POLIS only) - list of currently-wanted suspects with star levels and offence counts. Tap to set a waypoint.
- Plate checker (POLIS only) - look up a licence plate to see the registered owner and whether the vehicle is stolen.
See Polis for more on the MDT.
Home screen
The main phone home screen with the app grid. Not a separate app you launch.
The minimap
In the top-right corner, you'll see a minimap showing the area around you.
What the minimap shows
- Your position (the arrow at the centre).
- Roads and buildings around you.
- Points of interest (POIs): hospital, police station, fire station, vehicle spawners, shops, career stations.
- Waypoints you've placed or that have been set by the game (quest markers, MDT calls).
- Other players and NPCs may appear as dots depending on context.
Expanding the minimap
Click the minimap (or press the expand button) to open the full-screen map. You can:
- Zoom in and out.
- Pan around to see other parts of Sumaya.
- Hit F to fit all your waypoints into view at once.
Custom waypoints
In the full-screen map:
- Long-press (about 0.5 seconds) on a location to drop a custom waypoint.
- Right-click an existing waypoint for a context menu (rename, change colour, delete).
- Your waypoints persist across sessions.
Custom waypoints are great for marking your favourite fishing spot, your friend's house, or where you parked your trawler.
The guidance beam
You'll often see a coloured beam from your character to an objective - this is the guidance beam, a 3D visual version of whatever waypoint the minimap is actively tracking. Colours are consistent:
- Red (bright): quest markers, important objectives.
- Other colours: custom waypoints in their chosen colour.
The task card
In the top-left corner, you'll often see a task card - a small panel that describes your current objective. It might show:
- Your active quest step ("Spawn a vehicle").
- An active fire you're responding to ("Fire at Jalan Triden").
- A patient you're treating.
- A carjacking drop-off zone.
Collapsing the task card
On mobile especially, the task card can overlap with driving controls. Tap the chevron (^) button on the card to collapse it, showing just a minimal icon. Tap again to re-expand.
Gig minigame panels
Some gig jobs open a small interaction panel for paperwork, choices, sequence checks, or timing checks. These panels fade in and out, scale to phone/tablet/desktop screens, and may briefly focus the camera on the relevant passenger, parcel, vehicle, scene, or route marker.
If you die, switch teams, leave the job, or the objective disappears, the panel and camera focus clean up automatically.
Status widget (top-right)
Below the minimap, the Status widget shows your Citizen level and (when on a job or emergency team) your active sector level + rank. It's two compact rows:
- Top row - your citizen level, progress bar, and progress numbers. Always visible.
- Bottom row - your current sector. On POLIS / BOMBA / Kesihatan teams it always tracks your team's sector. On civilian teams it tracks the sector you're currently clocked in to (or the most recent if you earned XP within the last 30 seconds, then hides). For public services it shows your rank (e.g. "Sergeant"); for civilian sectors it shows progress numbers.
The bottom row crossfades in and out as you switch jobs / teams. There's no manual control over what it tracks - it's automatic.
Topbar icons
Roblox's TopBar at the top-centre of the screen shows a row of small Sumaya icons. From left to right:
- Map - toggles the minimap HUD on/off.
- Tasks - toggles the task card on/off (only appears when there's at least one active card).
- Status - toggles the Status widget on/off.
- Open Menu (house icon) - re-opens the main menu mid-game so you can switch teams or pick a different sector. This doesn't respawn you unless you actually pick a new team. Locked while you're arrested, wanted, or in combat (recently tased / detained).
All four toggles persist for the session - they don't survive a server restart, but they do survive respawn.
Chat
Press / (slash) to focus the chat bar at the bottom of the screen. Type a message and hit Enter to send.
Sumaya uses standard Roblox chat, so whispering another player and public chat both work.
Public services channel
If you're on an emergency-service team (POLIS, BOMBA, or Kesihatan), you get access to an extra Public Services channel. Messages sent there are visible only to other emergency-service players - a private coordination channel across all three services. Civilian teams can't see or send to it.
Your access auto-updates when you switch teams.
Banner notifications
You'll see slide-in banner notifications for:
- Job payouts.
- Quest step completions.
- New offence detected (for POLIS on duty).
- Wanted level gained or cleared.
- System messages.
Banners auto-dismiss after a few seconds.
Wallet / bank display
Your current Ringgit balance is shown in a small HUD near the top of the screen. Open the full wallet details via the phone or the ATM. See Economy.
Tips
- Open the phone as soon as you spawn. Most of what you need is there.
- Expanded minimap for planning. Before a long trip, pop the full map, see the route, drop a waypoint at your destination.
- Passive mode for roleplay. Going out for a chill screenshot session? Toggle passive so no one interrupts with carjacks or fights.
- 999 for calls, MDT for responses. One is for civilians, the other is for responders.
- Long-press to make waypoints. This is the single biggest quality-of-life feature - use it to mark places you keep returning to.
- Collapse the task card when driving mobile. The extra screen real-estate matters on small screens.
- Profile app for flex. Your ranks show here. Screenshot-worthy once you hit high-tier ranks.
What next?
- Quests for the discovery chain you'll see in the Quest app.
- Polis for MDT details.
