In the bigger picture there’s no more employers’ market

The Human Resources Minister said job seekers have options to get better pay and need not opt to take on jobs with minimal wages.“They need not work for minimum wage. It is time to do it ,” he said in a press conference during a zakat presentation ceremony at Dewan Merdeka here yesterday.“Today, anyone can drive a Grab and can get RM2,000, so why work for RM1,200 or RM1,500,” he added.

Some were worried that the increase in wages would transfer the cost to consumers by increasing prices of goods while some may have to cut down on hiring workers. The policy will involve private sector companies with a minimum of five workers, while small and micro companies are allowed to postpone the implementation as they may not have the financial capability to adopt the policy.
