SHAH ALAM, 23 March — Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said that the government has no plans to extend the Central Database Hub (Padu) deadline on March 31 this year, as it could affect the implementation timeline further.

He said if the deadline is extended the government will have to hold the implementation of the targeted subsidy.

“Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has announced in the previous budget that we will restructure the bulk subsidy to targeted subsidy.



“If we hold the targeted subsidy plans, the government has to bear at least RM2 billion per month of the diesel subsidy that we have now,” he said, adding that it would be better for the cost to be channelled as aid to the families in need.

On the low registration rate of Padu at the town hall, today, the Pandan MP pointed out that Selangor and Federal Territory had the highest risk of exclusion among other states.

He said that the authorities had the geolocation pin in the low-income household area, which enabled them to gather data, map, and compare.

“Then we observed the apartments and none of them received Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah and didn’t register Padu.
