Sabah govt failed to fight for state's interests, let Putrajaya decide on labour issues, says Warisan veep

KOTA KINABALU: Warisan vice-president Datuk Junz Wong has hit out at the Sabah government for failing to protect workers as the RM1,700 minimum wage takes effect, warning that rising costs and inflation will burden businesses and consumers.

He said the state government should have fought for Sabah’s interests instead of letting Putrajaya decide policies that don’t fit the state’s economy.
