I think we should have a dedicated thread for this. Tons of info needed to fill up.

All PADU related discussion please come here.

An article from the Star on what is PADU:


==============================

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 2 — The long-awaited Central Database System (Padu) will go live later today after its official launch by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

This will also mean that Malaysians who are eligible for targeted subsidies are one step closer to receiving the much-needed aid, as the government will use Padu to implement the targeted subsidies.


However, Padu is much more than just a tool to disseminate targeted subsidies, as it will be the government’s central database system of 32 million Malaysians.

Padu, managed by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DoSM), covers nearly 300 types of data under the federal government, with data from state and local governments gradually included.


Except for banking data, as Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said the Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989 (BAFIA), does not permit the use of such data by anyone.


Is data stored with Padu safe? This was among other concerns raised, and to this, Rafizi was previously reported saying that there will be no changes in the ownership of data (currently owned by either government departments or agencies). As for retrieving of data, agencies that contribute may not necessarily be able to take these data for their usage.

The Economy Minister has also assured the public that existing laws of the respective government departments or agencies govern all data that Padu uses.

What’s inside Padu?

Those curious about what Padu contains include profiles of individuals and households which encompasses citizens and permanent residents in Malaysia.

It also seeks to provide a secure, comprehensive and “near real-time” main national database for digitisation and the production of periodic analytics.

Essentially, it is a data-driven policy formulation and decision-making process.

What Padu does is also improve the government’s efficiency in the aspect of delivery system service.

It will also empower the social system through increasing economic and people's well-being, bridging the socioeconomic gap by balancing the needs of the people.

How can the public contribute?

Those who are 18 years old and above are required to verify that their information is up to date with Padu.

They will have until March 31 to update their profile information with the government.

Because the system was built by civil servants, it did not incur additional setup costs except for hardware which amounted to RM2 million.

Rafizi reportedly said that Padu was fully developed by civil servants from three agencies (Ministry of Economy, Department of Statistics Malaysia — DOSM and the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit — Mampu) in collaboration with all other agencies.

He said civil servants developed the system using existing allocations and infrastructure without the need to open new tenders to private entities, thus not incurring additional expenses, as is often the case whenever a new system is introduced to the government.

And why the system was developed within seven months (May to December this year), it was all thanks to civil servants who worked day and night for seven months without additional allocations.

Good question. Probably don't need to.

So far, only saw one section what dividend from simpanan. So i assume this is Fixed Deposit. Didn't see EPF yet.

Update:
Pendapatan Sewaan Bangunan/Kenderaan
Pendapatan Sewaan Tanah
Pendapatan Faedah/Hibah Daripada Simpanan
Pendapatan Dividen
Pendapatan Royalti

The question is, if we don't declare this or cincai declare this, what will happened? Will there be repercussion?

Yes, this is the only thing i am interested in. But i read somewhere 18 years old and above also can register. So if kid above 18 can register, he can get petrol subsidies as separate account?

There is also a question for "Maklumat Bank"....i think we should give them the Bank account with little money and activities....ahem

Helang and pippit....Pippit 1 sen declare wrong, 10 years in jail.

Hahaha. Use Bank account with least money and no FDs inside. I think my OCBC got. No FD inside. Only like RM200. But later...say if you declare 10k FD....Ask where is your FD???

I see this possibility very real.

Btw, who's the idiot who has nothing to do and reported this thread as "Incorrect Section". This is totally related to one's finance. Please stop showing stupidity and trigger happy to report anything.

I believe it's rental. Income goes to your parents. Later check your parent's tax declaration got rental income or not...

On note of petrol subsidy...it suppose to start in Feb right? I think we should wait and see. We get 3 months to fill PADU. If don't get subsidy then only consider how to fill up. If get subsidy. Lantak lah. Adakah aku kesah PADU.

Yep, they are trying to collect more info than they have. Btw, is dividend from equities a requirement to declare in your LHDN? I can't remember...So if you declare 10k in LHDN, here you declare 15k...Jeng Jeng Jeng??

The RM100 STR is not worth it. What is more interesting is the petrol subsidy. They might draw a blanket, anyone who hasn't declare PADU, no petrol subsidy.

UT as in Unit Trust? I don't even know how to read those shitty reports.

There is a section which includes kids education expenses under the "Committment" section includes all your loans to fill up.

Yes, you and me same situation. Duduk and look see look see. Besides, i sees this PADU thing could be yearly declaration.

Agreed. Duduk and watch first. Don't be white mice and kena game....

I registered account and go in see, fill the commitment section a bit. Don't plan to submit. Lol.

I think some of the info are out of LHDN jurisdiction? Like FD interest. Those are not taxable and probably not required to fill by current law? I don't know. Also, if LHDN ask, people will be SUS. so they use PADU to game you from behind...

They still show my last working company and i am no longer working there for a few years.

I file every year.

Problem now...there is no info on how it will be handled...all very vague. It could backfires either way. For now, to be on safe side, it is best not to let the Gov knows how much you have... especially those living on passive incomes...

Just don't seriously. Now it's full of bugs. Don't upload your IC.

Who's the pyschopath who keeps reporting so many posts as "incorrect section"

Cherroy Please ban that person for abuse of report button.
