Allow staggered minimum wage implementation, urge groups


PETALING JAYA: With just a day to go before May 1, business groups are still insisting that the implementation of the new RM1,500 minimum wage on Labour Day is too rushed and they are not ready.

They said more time was needed as immediate enforcement would lead to a chain reaction that could affect the economy, such as inflation since labour cost would rise.
