Rafizi: Government Has No Plan To Extend March 31 PADU Registration Deadline

“We need to follow the timeline to implement targeted subsidies."

During a special meeting about the PADU registration, Economic Minister Rafizi Ramli mentioned that the government isn’t planning to push back the PADU sign-up deadline from March 31.

Rafizi responded to someone’s question about possibly moving the deadline after March 31 by saying that if they keep delaying the date, it will just lead to more delays.

This would mean the government would end up spending an extra RM2 billion every month, which they want to avoid.
