The Selangor State Government has announced that it is ready to share data collected through the Selangkah application with the Central Database Hub (PADU). Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari asserted that data from the Selangkah app would be used for cross-checking and updating the information of Selangor residents in PADU.

Previously, we mentioned how over 50% of Malaysians have registered for PADU. Now, the National Chief Statistician says those who have registered for PADU can still update their incomplete details. That said, what should you know about it?

Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli today announced that a total of 11.55 million or 52.6 per cent of Malaysians aged 18 and above have updated their info on the Central Database Hub (PADU) as of the deadline yesterday. This makes a total of 17.65 million or 58.7 per cent of the people’s profiles updated on the database, including those aged under 18 years old.

With today being the last day to register for the Central Database Hub (PADU), the database has gotten quite a surge of signups over the past few days. As of 11.59pm yesterday (30 March), 10.85 million people have registered for PADU, with the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) targeting a 50 per cent registration rate by the deadline tonight.

Former Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has revealed that he will be lodging a police report for identity theft after an initial failed attempt to register for the Central Database Hub (PADU). Taking to Instagram, Khairy said that someone had misused his IC number to register for the database.

The deadline for the registration of the PADU database is nearing this week. The Ministry of Economic Affairs pointed out that by registering and updating the information in the main database system (PADU), the T20 high-income group will also have the opportunity to receive targeted subsidies.

Previously, we mentioned Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has instructed Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli to clarify the database’s registration issue. Today, the Ministry of Economy released interesting statistics regarding PADU’s registration on X. That said, what should you know about it?

It’s no secret that since its launch on 2 January, the Central Database Hub (PADU) has faced scrutiny from the public, the number of people updating their info on the database is still low despite the due date being just a mere 7 days away. With the Sarawak Government also voicing reservations about PADU, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has instructed Economy Minister Rafizi Ramil to clarify the database’s registration issue at the Cabinet Meeting next week.

Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli took to the Dewan Rakyat to allay any fears of cybersecurity breaches of the Central Database Hub (PADU). Lauding the resoluteness of the database’s security, he revealed that PADU has withstood over 2 million hacking attempts every week.

The Central Database Hub (PADU) has denied the viral message that’s currently circulating on social media which claims that its database has been hacked by the hacker group ROOTK1T. Dubbing it as fake news, PADU thus advises the public to not share or spread the viral message.
