PUTRAJAYA: The government’s Central Database System (Padu) has now reached 60% in its development and will be up and ready to be used in January 2024, says Rafizi Ramli.

The Economy Minister described the short period (which began in June 2023) to develop the Padu system, which provides a combination of socio-economic information for every household in the country, as a momentous challenge for his ministry but it could be implemented (targeted subsidy programme) thanks to the cooperation of more than 270 government agencies and statutory bodies.
