Only 17% Of Malaysians Have Registered On PADU

Statistically, that's around 17.3% out of our more than 30 million citizens in the country that have registered, far lower than what the government had expected.

The number of registered folks on PADU is concerning, given that the government intends to use the collected database for its targetted subsidies to people under different income categories. One of the main gripes over why the adoption rate is so low is that the site itself isn't as user-friendly, especially to the older folks that aren't as technology-savvy.

Back in February, the hacker collective, R00TK1T, claimed that it had allegedly broken into the database of LPPKN, and then into the central database shortly after, making off with what they claim to be 27TB worth of data.

Rafizi Ramli, our Minister of Economy, denied last week that such a breach ever took place and that PADU has not been compromised since it was launched earlier this year. However, given the 'successful claims' posted by the group via channels on messaging apps such as Telegram, you wouldn't be faulted for taking what has been said by the minister with a pinch of salt.

No coercion to register under Padu, says WeeDatuk Seri Dr Wee Jeck Seng says there should be no coercion to get people to register under the Central Database Hub (Padu). Only 10% of the population has updated their information on the Padu portal as of Feb 15. Wee expresses concern over Malaysians potentially losing out on subsidies if they do not update their data on Padu. He also highlights the difficulty of achieving a 100% online registration rate due to lack of internet access and digital literacy in rural areas.
