KOTA KINABALU: While the overall Budget 2025 is in line with the Madani economic framework, Sabah businesses view raising the minimum wage from RM1,500 to RM1,700 from Feb 1 next year as a hasty move.
Sabah United Chinese Chambers of Commerce (SUCCC) president Datuk Michael Lui said the minimum wage being implemented about the same time as the Progressive Wage Policy that will be fully enforced next year will impact businesses.
