PADU registrations expected to climb in future second phase due to wider net with RON95 – Rafizi Ramli

PADU registrations expected to climb in future second phase due to wider net with RON95 – Rafizi Ramli

The government will open the second phase of registration for the Pangkalan Data Utama (PADU) socio-economic database in preparation for the implementation of the targeted RON 95 petrol subsidy once the cabinet gives its approval on several criteria, which is currently still being refined, said economy minister Rafizi Ramli.

“We had a meeting last week, and plans regarding timelines and implementation are being discussed. Once the cabinet agrees, only then can the economy ministry announce the timeline,” he said.

Approximately 55% of households registered on PADU during the first phase, primarily those in the low-income group, but Rafizi believes that public registration will be higher this time around, Bernama reports. When PADU registration was opened earlier this year, data showed that most high-income earners felt there was no need for them to register as they were unlikely to qualify for subsidies

“Previously, there was an assumption that the M40 group would not receive subsidies. Now, with the government clarifying that only the T15 and above are ineligible and the criteria announced, I think more groups will register,” he said.

“If the public understands that verifying eligibility for RON 95 subsidies relies on data from PADU and they don’t register, they risk being excluded,” he added. He said he is confident that with clear explanation, more people would register with PADU to ensure they are not left out of any government assistance.

    Why don’t you announce the eligibility detail first, then we decide if we want to register?

    Again OMG seriously I would say smart also until today have not defined what is T15 but then just try to force more M40 to register since they do now know where they belong.

    T20 is not going to register this time round too after seeing how PMX trying to tax the maha kaya to help the B40. The T20s made a smart move not to register and make it difficult for the government.

    • Can I advice u something...do u need bantuan? on Nov 21, 2024 at 8:02 pm

      This Mr Bad Surprise Rafixi…didnt make clear those who registered with Padu in Round One..do they need to come forward a second time,since he is adamant to scrutinise them for more details.
      Actually,why so complicated Rafixi? after setting the criteria ,say 15K monthly income,from LHDN database..u already know who r the non recepients.Just give the other 85% who qualified the necessary tools to get bantuan.
      Those T15..dont give them the tools to get bantuan.Simple, or u need Iranian ballistic rocket science?
