Padu registrations surge to 7.7m, Rafizi says

 

The Central Database Hub (Padu) has seen a sharp rise in registrations over the past week, Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said.

As of 11.59pm on March 24, the number of registrations had increased to 7.7 million from the 5.4 million recorded on March 17, he said.

To date, registrants aged 18 years and above have reached 35.1 percent.

“We are optimistic that the figure will continue to rise, potentially hitting or even surpassing 50 percent by the March 31 deadline,” Rafizi (above) said in a statement today.

The public is urged not to leave registering until the last minute.

“With the deadline approaching, we expect daily registrations to continue to increase significantly. Register and update your data in Padu before March 31, 2024, to avoid the risk of being excluded (from receiving assistance and subsidies),” he said.
