ARAU: The safety and confidentiality of information within the Central Database Hub (Padu), managed by the National Digital Department (JDN), an agency under the Prime Minister's Department, are guaranteed from leaks so far, says Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin.

The Chief Statistician stated that in the event of any undesired incident, Padu, through the Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), is prepared to handle it according to stipulated procedures.

"I urge everyone to take the opportunity to update Padu and not wait until the last moment. This Padu information will help the government plan future programmes," he said in a statement during his visit to the Padu counter at Masjid Al Masyhoor Padang Siding near here Saturday (March 23).

Mohd Uzir also said that a total of 1,006 Padu counters had been opened in Perlis, including joint programmes with the community and the Digital Economic Centres (PEDi) from Jan 2 until Saturday.
