Kuala Lumpur: More than one million people had registered for the central database hub (Padu) as of this morning, eight days after the system was launched and made accessible to the public.
Economy minister Rafizi Ramli, in a post on X, said the figure includes children under 18 years old.
“All of the government’s machinery has been deployed to ensure that we minimise the risk of being left out in the implementation of targeted subsidies through Padu registration.
“Let’s maintain this momentum to shift towards targeted assistance,” he said, urging those who have not registered to do so via http://padu.gov.my.
