00:00 Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Armizan Muhammad Ali said the government's

00:07 targeted subsidy policy does not signify the withdrawal of assistance.

00:12 Instead, he said it involved reforming the distribution of subsidies and social aid being

00:18 given to the people, especially those really in need.

00:23 Armizan also said the PADU integrated database hub, set to launch on January 2nd, was central

00:28 to the implementation of this targeted subsidy policy and the reform of social aid, which

00:33 included cash payouts.

00:36 He urged all citizens to register or verify their details with the PADU system, making

00:40 it easier for the government to decide whom to provide aid to based on family income and

00:45 the level of commitment to dependents.

00:48 It was reported earlier that PADU will integrate data from the National Registration Department,

00:53 the Ministries of Education and Higher Education, as well as utility companies such as Tanaka

00:57 Nacional and water supply operators.
