Riot: Malaysia to improve minimum wage implementation

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia aims to improve policies and the implementation of minimum wage following the ratification of an International Labour Convention on the matter, said Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri Richard Riot.

He said the ratification of Convention No 131: Minimum Wage Fixing Convention was in line with Malaysia’s aim to emerge as a high income nation by 2020 and to allow the government further improve the country’s labour standards, particularly on minimum wage.
