PADU Developed In-House: Was Rafizi Right?

Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli has defended the government's decision to develop PADU's database in-house instead of appointing vendors or private firms. This is amidst criticisms over the security measures in place to protect personal data from all government agencies. We discuss whether this trade-off was worth it, and how to balance long-term capacity-building in the public sector, with the need for short-term efficiency.
