Plantation, construction firms support wage policy


KUALA LUMPUR: The plantation and construction sectors are supportive of the higher minimum wage policy but want the new government to review some of the heavy taxes and foreign worker levies imposed on the industry players.

The Government is set to implement a new sectoral-based minimum wage policy for the private sector, which will replace the current blanket regulation for all the industries, in the coming months.
