Time for minimum wage above RM2,000


PETALING JAYA: The minimum wage for Malaysians should be set at RM2,102 as the current RM1,500 is too low for workers to sustain themselves and their families with, according to the latest report by United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) Malaysia.

The UN-backed study said its proposal for the new minimum wage was made in light of several current factors, including the high cost of living that is causing many Malaysians to struggle to make ends meet.
