Dashed hopes by days as minimum wage deferred again


PETALING JAYA: It was a major shock and disappointment to employees to find out that days before the RM1,500 minimum wage was supposed to kick in, the implementation has now been delayed by six months.

Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) president Mohd Effendy Abdul Ghani said the minimum wage implementation for companies employing fewer than five employees was already postponed once before and should not have been delayed again.
