Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli has been asked to clarify the Central Database Hub (Padu) registration issue at the cabinet meeting next week, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

He said this followed concerns raised by Sarawak Premier Abang Johari 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 Economy Minister was asked to examine the issue and provide an explanation to the cabinet,” he said.

Anwar 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 territory.

The prime minister was met by reporters after a walkabout at the Mahkota Square Ramadan Bazaar in Kuantan today. Pahang Menteri Besar Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail was also present.
