Minimum wage: Govt will find balance between salaries and cost of living, says Rafizi


PUTRAJAYA: The government does not rule out the possibility that the enforcement of the RM1,500 minimum wage for employers with fewer than five workers, which began on July 1, will have an impact on the country's inflation rate, says Rafizi Ramli.

Speaking to reporters at the ministry on Tuesday (June 4), the Economy Minister said the government had carried out the necessary assessment on the matter before deciding to enforce it.
