MELAKA: About half of the 1.62 million civil servants in the country are still unable to own their own homes due to the sector’s minimum wage being “irrelevant” in current times, says Congress of Unions of Employees in Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) president Datuk Adnan Mat.
He said the existing minimum wage made it difficult for the government to achieve the target of a household income of RM10,000 per month as well as the goal of making Malaysia a high-income country by 2025 in the 12th Malaysia Plan.
