I feel like this isn't emphasized enough. PADU is not just about subsidy and handouts. PADU is THE government consolidated database. It gives the government a single view of a particular citizen from all the various data sources within the government.
Eventually, ALL government services will use PADU to integrate citizenship data. Think JPJ, JPN, KPDN, KPM, KKM...all government agencies and services.
The next time you pay assessment rates, PADU data will be used.
When you want to bid for government contract, PADU data will be used.
When you want to register a birth or death, PADU data will be used.
When you want to apply to travel (passport, visa etc.), PADU data will be used.
When you want to access public healthcare, PADU data will be used.
When you want to go to public schools or education, guess what, PADU data will be used.
Every single government ministry, agency, apparatus will use PADU to engage with you, the citizen.
