Pay TVET grads at least RM3,000, says Zahid


KUALA LUMPUR: TVET graduates should be paid at least RM3,000, double the country’s minimum wage of RM1,500, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

They deserve the hike in pay because they are highly skilled labour, said Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Rural and Development Minister.
