PENDANG: More than 7.36 million Malaysian citizens, or 35% of the country’s population, have updated their information on the Central Database Hub (Padu), says chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin.

He said the Statistics Department was optimistic that more people would do so in the last few days before the March 31 deadline, following greater awareness programmes by the government.
