The government has increased the minimum wage to RM1,500 per month and it will be implemented nationwide for certain companies effective May 1, according to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
The prime minister said the new minimum wage would initially apply to big companies and government-linked companies.
“For micro companies with few workers and low income, the human resources minister (Datuk Seri M Saravanan) will discuss with Tan Sri Noh Omar (the entrepreneur development and cooperatives minister) to seek a postponement [of enforcement] for these small firms,” said Ismail Sabri, who is an Umno vice-president.
