According to Mohamad Uzl, Director of Statistics Malaysia, the registration process for the government's established main database system has come to an end. Next, the authorities will automatically register accounts for unregistered citizens based on information obtained from other databases.

Main databasesfor shortPADU (Pangkalan Data Utama) is a database established by the Malaysian government to more effectively distribute aid and allowances to target audiences. This main database collects personal and household information of the Malaysian people, such as basic income, expenditure status, workplace, number of dependents, and passive income.

As ofBy the midnight registration deadline on March 31st, 10.8 million people had registered and updated their information, accounting for approximately 48% of the target population.

Mohamad Uzl stated that,The launch of PADU aims to establish a secure, detailed, and "near real-time" national primary database. By digitizing data, the government can generate more accurate analysis and develop more effective aid and subsidy policies to achieve the goal of narrowing income inequality. In addition, the PADU platform will also integrate personal and family information, making it easier to extract and manage, helping the government make wiser decisions.

along withWith the continuous improvement of the PADU system, the government will be able to better identify the problem of social wealth inequality and quickly and accurately provide assistance to the truly needy groups. At the same time, the system can also reduce the abuse of government aid or allowances, lower the cost of distributing benefits for the government, and ultimately achieve a reduction in national finances.

However,The launch of the PADU system has also raised concerns among some people about data security. Some people are concerned that personal information may be leaked. In response, the Minister of Finance stated that the PADU system was developed by civil servants without any third-party involvement, and all participants had signed confidentiality agreements. Once a data leakage accident occurs, the relevant departments will quickly identify the cause and take control of the relevant personnel.

Despite some concernsThe PADU system is undoubtedly an important tool for the Malaysian government. This system can not only assist the government in formulating more precise policies, but also improve the efficiency of policy implementation. In addition, the PADU system will integrate data from over 455 government departments and institutions to achieve centralized management of personal reference materials, further improving the transparency and efficiency of government work.

Mohamad Uzl stated that althoughThe promotion process of the PADU system has encountered some challenges, such as concerns about data security among some people and registration rates not meeting expectations. However, the government will continue to make efforts to improve the system and encourage more people to actively participate in registration and updating information.

The Malaysian government investsThe establishment of a PADU system of RM7 billion reflects its determination and investment in improving social welfare policies. With the continuous improvement and promotion of the PADU system, it is believed that it will have a positive impact on the social development and improvement of people's livelihoods in Malaysia.
