PADU database 72% complete, targeted subsidy will begin with petrol and diesel, mechanism soon – Rafizi

PADU database 72% complete, targeted subsidy will begin with petrol and diesel, mechanism soon – Rafizi

The government has said that it will begin implementing its targeted subsidy programme early next year once the Pangkalan Data Utama (PADU) socio-economic database is ready. Things look to be on track for the programmes introduction in January, says economy minister Rafizi Ramli.

He said at present, the database is now 72% complete, with a total of 29.8 million cross-ministerial and agency data having been collated. That’s up from the 60% that it was at in September. Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat, he said that the mechanism for the targeted subsidy was supposed to be presented at a cabinet meeting two weeks ago, but had to be postponed.

Rafizi explained that the presentation was interrupted because he was rushed to the hospital to be treated for a heart attack. He added that it will be presented soon and a decision on the form of the targeted subsidy mechanism will be made by the government in the near future, Berita Harian reports.

PADU database 72% complete, targeted subsidy will begin with petrol and diesel, mechanism soon – Rafizi

He said that once the database is ready, the targeted subsidy distribution process will be done fairly to households identified as eligible. “I understand and I’m sure all the members (Dewan Rakyat) appreciate that it is important for us to convince the people that PADU can really be fair to the recipients. The goal is to ensure that we begin to consolidate this form of aid as part of the government’s medium-term measures,” he said.

He added that the government would target the distribution of subsidies for petrol and diesel first to confirm that the system based on PADU data is fair to the rakyat.

The government has not revealed the mechanism it will use to dispense targeted subsidies, but has been considering a number of options. Last month, deputy finance minister Steven Sim said the government is exploring various mechanisms, including using the MySejahtera application for the purpose. Aside from cash transfer, the elements being studied also include a card system.

  • Use Pak Lah’s mechanism. Standard no subsidies price across all range, give cash to the qualified. No need for expensive system, digital whatsoever and need ali baba abang adik company to provide. Sure PADU one. When price no subsidy who want to smuggle the fuel then.

      The Padu system contains many personal n critical financial info that will fall into kidnappers,hackers,jackers domain if they r not guarded with utmost caution.
      It is like our LHDN tax files exposed to rogue gangsters one day,who can demand cash in extortion.
      The nasi lemak vending machines reportedly cost a whopping 3/4 billion RM.

    How could PADU determine one’s income, (please read this PADU team), there are many unregistered smallholders on east Malaysia soil who only deal with cash term, how could you measure their income without many electronic transactions? Also those pub/ underground casino operators (run by AhLong) how could you catch them , mind you, these are the people who will smuggle diesel the most , it’s the law enforcement who failed to push them into justice then many M40 suffer in the process. Illegals immigrants also one big issues here , they are roaming freely like their own territory, why these government servants sleeping all the times?

This MADANI government is encouraging the T20 (not all but those not tongkat type – need to work harder, longer and think more than other to climb ahead) to flee the country? Next time 5 years will be T5 M10 B85….GG Liao. T20 pay the most taxes, whether income tax or car sales tax. Now they need to pay more again….encouraging people to not work hard and achieve anything.

      Tahun lepas, abah pernah memberitahu para pemberita bahawa kerajaan mampu menjimatkan perbelanjaan sebanyak RM20 billion setahun melalui pelaksanaan skim subsidi bersasar, kerana tanpa skim tersebut, hanya 20 peratus subsidi yang disediakan kerajaan digunakan oleh golongan B40, manakala selebihnya dinikmati oleh golongan yang tidak sepatutnya, dimana hampir 50 peratus daripada subsidi kerajaan digunakan oleh orang dalam kategori yang berada, orang kaya, kenderaan besar dan macam2 lagi. Oleh itu, jika nak pilih PN, kesudahannya sama juga utk skim subsidi bersasar ini.
