Youth group calls for RM2,000 minimum wage


Khairul Azlan says the current minimum wage is no longer viable.

THE government is urged to conduct a feasibility study on increasing the current minimum wage from RM1,500 to at least RM2,000 to help Malaysians cope with the rising cost of living.

Gerakan Belia 4B Malaysia (Johor) chairman Khairul Azlan Sulong said there was a huge gap between the price of necessities and the earnings of the public, especially those who worked in the general sector.
