Resistance against minimum wage


PETALING JAYA: The new national minimum wage of RM1,500 finally got off the ground on May 1 but in terms of compliance, there is still some way to go.

In a survey by the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF), 67.2% of the companies involved are not ready to implement the new minimum wage, which had been increased from the previous rate of RM1,200.
