According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia’s Johor branch, only 4.1% of the population in Johor, which amounts to 112,524 people, has registered with the Central Database Hub (Padu) system since its launch on Jan 2.
The statement mentioned that this figure is still considered unsatisfactory. As a result, the people of Johor are encouraged to visit Padu counters at the Digital Economy Centre (PeDi) in nearby areas to update their profiles.
To assist the public in updating their Padu data, the Department will station officers at selected counters in Johor, as well as offer the option to update information at their offices in Johor Bahru, Kluang, Muar, and Batu Pahat.
In addition to physical options, updates can also be done through the Padu website at www.padu.gov.my. The latest information regarding the system can be accessed through Padu’s official social media accounts, the Ministry of Economy, Department of Statistics Malaysia, or the Johor branch’s website.
The main objective of PADU is to enhance the efficiency of policy planning and resource allocation, particularly for targeted government subsidies and assistance. – Bernama
