SDP to introduce new minimum wage across its ops


SDP group managing director Mohamad Helmy Othman Basha said the group’s last wage rate adjustment was in May 2020, following a government decision to raise the minimum wage for workers in municipal council areas to RM1,200 a month and RM1,100 for those in non-municipal council areas.

PETALING JAYA: Sime Darby Plantation Bhd (SDP) will be implementing a RM1,500 monthly minimum wage for all workers across its Malaysian operations with effect from May 1.

In a statement yesterday, the plantation group said it is also implementing additional incentive programmes to encourage productivity among its workforce and attract more locals to join the industry.
