Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on Economic Minister Rafizi Ramli to explain about the centralised data collection application PADU to the cabinet next week.
This comes after Premier of Sarawak Tan Sri Abang Johari had called on the government to suspend PADU until further clarifications are made about the massive data being collected by the ministry. Anwar said the premier conveyed his concerns when he met Abang Jo and has immediately instructed the Economic Minister to give more clarification on the system.
