On the ground: Foreign workers working at a food court in Subang Jaya. — AZHAR MAHFOF/The Star
PETALING JAYA: With the national minimum wage set to rise to RM1,700 from Feb 1, business owners are preparing to shoulder additional operating expenses, but at the same time, they are hoping for government measures to ease their financial burden.
Particularly affected are food court operators, coffee shop owners and vegetable farmers as they typically employ more foreign workers compared with other industries.
