KUANTAN, March 24 – Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli has been asked to clarify the Central Database Hub (PADU) registration issue at the Cabinet meeting next week, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar said this followed concerns raised by Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg about the system.
“Yesterday I had a discussion with the Premier of Sarawak and he voiced some concerns and raised some questions. Accordingly, the Minister of Economy was asked to examine the issue and provide an explanation to the Cabinet,” he said.
He said this when asked to comment on the call by the Sarawak government to delay the registration and updating of information on PADU in the state.
Media reports stated that the Ministry of Economy would meet with the Sarawak government next week to discuss the issues concerning PADU.
Rafizi was reported to have said that the directive to suspend the registration of PADU was for the Sarawak government to obtain clarification from the Ministry of Economy following views expressed in the state Cabinet meeting.
