Padu can help simplify nationwide census data collection

Mohd Uzir says more than 900 Padu counters have been set up nationwide to help people register.

Central Database Hub (Padu) registrations have the potential to replace the traditional method of hiring enumerators to conduct face-to-face surveys nationwide for the Malaysian Population and Housing Census.

Department of Statistics Malaysia chief statistician Datuk Seri Mohd Uzir Mahidin said to date, more than 900 Padu counters have been set up nationwide to help people register.
