Government to use existing data for aid eligibility

PETALING JAYA: Do not fret if you missed the deadline to register on the Central Database Hub (Padu) system last weekend as the government will rely on existing data for those eligible for aid, says Rafizi Ramli (pic).

The Economy Minister said the government will use existing administrative data, which is adequate to determine the eligibility of individuals who missed the Padu registration deadline on March 31, to update their profiles for targeted subsidy.
