Padu a good start towards focused subsidies

TA Research expects the government to educate people about Padu to ensure that the subsidy-rationalisation plan stays on track.

PETALING JAYA: The newly launched national Central Database Hub (Padu) is a move in the right direction for ensuring fairer subsidy distribution, analysts say.

However, its system self-updating information could be “a little bit tedious” particularly for senior citizens and those residing in rural areas, said TA Research.
