When was the last time these pads installed on your car and what brand?

Wow. In 1 year and 30k kilometer, the pads are worn like this already?

Do you frequently drive hard? As I know, Toyota pads are quite long lasting.

Can show us the condition or your brake rotors too?

You replaced at Toyota SC or outside workshop?

Ohh.. It is to be expected then with your driving style.

Information I got from google:

Why are my brake pads cracking?
Cracking, Glazing, or Lifted Edges on the Pads

This can be caused by many things. Overuse, improper break-in procedure, hydraulic system problems, seized caliper components, defective pads, and the parking brake not fully retracting are some common problems.

From your driving style, you should use better performance aftermarket brake pads.

Original pads doesn't suit your driving style already.

Original pads was designed to provide sufficient braking under normal driving conditions.

If you push it hard, it won't last long. Thus, aftermarket brake pads comes in.

But you have to keep in mind, some aftermarket brake pads might eat your rotor faster due to the friction compound use and might be noisier when braking.

Original pads will give you the best smoothness and comfort when braking. Probably less brake dust too.
