The Economy Ministry has revealed that data collected from the Central Database Hub (PADU) will be utilised to formulate socio-economic development policies and roadmap under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). Its Deputy Minister, Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib added that the 13MP will span from 2026 to 2030.
She was quoted by Bernama as saying that the government is currently using PADU to validate existing applications and identify new participants for the People’s Income Initiative (IPR) programme. Hanifah added that the government has utilised PADU data for calculating the basic minimum living expenditure and net disposable income to enhance the formation of socioeconomic policies and programmes as well as minimising inclusion and exclusion errors.
She further elaborated that PADU’s implementation has reached the final stage of Phase 2, which involves the integration of the latest data, analysis to determine the target groups and use case formation. However, she said that the reopening of the PADU system under Phase 2 to enable Malaysians to update their information is still at the planning level.
