World Bank proposals factored into minimum range

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the recently-announced national minimum wage was justified and had taken into consideration factors proposed by the World Bank.

Set at RM900 (RM4.33 per hour) for employees in the peninsula and RM800 (RM3.85 per hour) for workers in Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan, the minimum wage has received mixed reactions from workers.
