Non-Malays feel ineligible for aid, not lack of trust in govt, says Rafizi on low Padu registration numbers

KUALA LUMPUR: The low number of registrations with the central database hub (Padu) among non-Malays is not due to a lack of trust in the government, but rather, because they feel they are ineligible for any aid, says Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli (pic).

“They are not found in the government system, while many of them fall within the M40 and above income groups. Hence, they are not eligible for any aid,” he told Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (March 26).
