MCA flags potential problems and loopholes in progressive wage policy

PETALING JAYA: The MCA has raised concerns over the progressive wage policy, citing potential imbalances, employee dissatisfaction and increased competition among small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

The party's economic and SME affairs committee chairman Datuk Lawrence Low pointed out that if the policy only benefits one million out of the approximately four million employees in the country, it could cause dissatisfaction among others and create imbalances among SMEs.
