KUCHING: The state government must have had its own reasons to suspend the Central Database Hub (PADU), said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
He said the federal government respected the state’s decision to put the registration for PADU on halt.
“We have only heard announcements through circular issues. Therefore, we as the federal government respect the decision.
“So, the Economy Ministry will hold discussions with the state government to seek further information and understanding on the situation,” he told reporters when met at a breaking of fast event at Al-Ghazali Mosque at Jalan Depo, Semariang here today (Mar 25).
Fadillah said the state government has yet to provide a reason to Putrajaya on the suspension of PADU.
“We have not received any explanation from the state for its decision and the federal government is trying to understand the reason,” he said.
Meanwhile, asked if the people of Sarawak should wait for Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli, Fadillah said that he is leaving it to the state government on its decision.
“I believe the people of Sarawak will follow the instructions given by the state government. However, so far, Sarawak has the highest number of registrants for PADU,” he said.
