Iswardy Morni, Activist and Sarawak political analyst
*Unveiling Sarawak's Poverty: The GPS Objection to PADU*
Today, Sarawak's political leaders began protesting the Main Data Base System (PADU) launched by PMX Anwar Ibrahim at the beginning of January 2024.
According to Sarawak's tourism, creative industries and performing arts minister - Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah - When you register in the integrated system, this means you are exposing yourself.
The GPS government requested that PADU be reviewed, and changes made. Karim mentioned that the government should respect the privacy of the people and there is no need to develop PADU because there is already ekasih data. Today, an official memo from Sri Aman Residents asking for PADU registration to be stopped in the entire Sri Aman Division went viral on social media. YBs GPS Sarawak in their respective whatsapp groups asked the people not to register with PADU.
For Iswardy, the real reason GPS objected to PADU was because they did not want Sarawak's real poverty data to be exposed. The latest data in PADU shows that many Sarawakians are registering. Many poor people are registered and many will get government assistance. In terms of "people's welfare" this is good, but GPS leaders are worried that their weaknesses in governing the state of Sarawak all this time will be exposed. With the high revenue and budget, why are there so many poor people in Sarawak?
Regarding data security, the Sarawak government pioneered several initiatives such as SarawakPay, Kenyalang GoldCad and Ekasih, all these platforms store the data of Sarawak residents. In fact it is operated by a third party/private. Why is data security not an issue? Is it because it is run by the Sarawak state government?
Iswardy ask the Sarawak government to have the courage to face reality, that the majority of the people of Sarawak are poor and deserve help. Don't interpret everything through political and election perspectives only.
