KUALA LUMPUR: Several groups have welcomed the deal, which estate workers signed with plantation owners to receive a guaranteed minimum wage each month although some questioned the RM350 amount. 

MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said the agreement between the National Union of Plantation Workers (NUPW) and the Malaysian Agricultural Producers Association (Mapa) would bring out a change in the estate community and lead to better pay for the workers.
