Q&A session: Kulasegaran answering questions as FMM president Datuk Soh Thian Lai looks on after a dialogue session in Petaling Jaya.

PETALING JAYA: The National Wage Consultative Council Act 2011 provides that minimum wage can be paid according to the criteria comprising sectors, types of employment and regional areas, says Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran.

“A lot of people don’t understand, we have the council and if you look at the Act, the sectors are one (of the criteria) that can be taken into account (when deciding minimum wage),” he said.
