Kota Kinabalu: Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan expressed deep concern about the recent push by the Federal Government for the comprehensive registration of the Central Database Hub (Padu) system, especially now when data privacy is considered more important than ever before. .

Kota Kinabalu: A total of 320,000 individuals throughout Sabah have registered with the Central Database Hub (Padu) as of Tuesday, said Sabah Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) Director Muhammad Amri Idris.

Kota Kinabalu: More than a week after the Central Database Hub (Padu) was launched in Putrajaya, counters to register for the system in Sabah are still seeing a beeline of residents who want to ensure they are not passed over for government aid.

Kuala Lumpur: More than one million people had registered for the central database hub (Padu) as of this morning, eight days after the system was launched and made accessible to the public.

Kuala Lumpur: Government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil has assured Malaysians that their data collected for the central database hub, or Padu, will not be exploited to gain votes.

PETALING JAYA: Poor communication involving the government’s central database hub, or Padu, will cost the government votes at the polls, say analysts.

Kota Kinabalu: The counters of Central Database Hub (Padu) provided by the Sabah Department of Statistics (DOSM) were an enormous help to residents in the state to register with the new data system.

PETALING JAYA: A rights group has called for the Central Database Hub, or Padu initiative to be suspended until the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) is amended, citing concerns about potential abuse and data security.
