Call to extend Padu’s deadline

PETALING JAYA: The government should consider extending the March deadline for Central Database Hub (Padu) registrations, says a civil society group.

Malaysian Coalition on Ageing chairman Cheah Tuck Wing said this was in light of how resolving potential security issues may need to be carried out in stages. He said glitches and some negative publicity may also result in senior citizens being hesitant to register.
