SHAH ALAM: The Rural and Regional Development Ministry will issue a form to help rural communities register manually in the central database hub (Padu) system.

       Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also the Rural and Regional Development Minister, said that it will be implemented by mobilising the Community Development Department and village heads to help the group.

       "We'll register the target group manually and implement the subsidy immediately," he told the media after the 2024 Unity Ponggal Celebration on Sunday (Jan 21).

       Padu, launched by the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, on Jan 2, is open to the public until March 31, and users can update and verify 30 personal details, including their identity card number, household number and residential address. – Bernama
