GLCs to pay interns RM800 minimum, says Anwar


Nice to meet you: Anwar, flanked by his deputies Ahmad and Steven Sim, greeting the crowd as he arrives for the Budget 2024 Consultation programme in Putrajaya.

PUTRAJAYA: Government-linked companies (GLC) offering internship positions will be required to pay a RM800 minimum monthly allowance to their interns, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. “Interns are graduates but some companies either pay them a low wage or none at all.

“It’s true that they undergo exposure and training at companies but if they come from underprivileged families, it’s hard for them to support themselves or their families.
