SHAH ALAM (March 23): The Ministry of Economy will hold a meeting with the Sarawak government next week to discuss the registration for the Central Database Hub (Padu).

Minister Rafizi Ramli said this was following the directive by the state government to suspend the process of registering and updating the Padu.

"So far, I understand that the directive to halt the registration applies only to state government officers and personnel.

"We have contacted the Sarawak government, and next week, the Ministry of Economy will sit down to discuss this matter with them," he told a press conference after attending the Padu townhall session here on Saturday.

Rafizi said the directive to suspend Padu registration was for the Sarawak government to obtain clarification from the Ministry of Economy.
