PETALING JAYA: Acknowledging that T20 and certain M40 households are hesitant in registering on the Central Database Hub (Padu), the Statistics Department has urged them to do so as it will help the government craft better policies for everyone, not just the needy.
It said Padu was more than just about government aid, and its data would also be used in disaster relief operations and for planning infrastructure and public amenities.
