Gradual adjustment to minimum wages is the right approach to assist businesses, says FMM

PETALING JAYA: The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) expressed support for a review of minimum wages but prefers a gradual adjustment over a sharp increase to RM2,000 as proposed by some groups.

FMM president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai said a gradual adjustment could provide a balanced approach to enhancing workers’ wellbeing without the steep financial burden on businesses which are only just starting to see prospects of more positive business conditions.
