Raising wages of workers

In recent years, the country's wage share ratio has fallen from 37% in 2020 to 32% in 2022, putting us at par with least developed countries like Cambodia, Bangladesh, Uganda and Ethiopia.

IT is one fact that Malaysians can no longer deny: Wages in this country are far too low.

Upon assuming office in November 2022, the first thing I had requested my ministry to do was to publish wage data on a quarterly basis. We often hear stories about low wages.
