TAPAH: The minimum wage policy will allow the unemployed and undergraduates to get better pay, says Datuk Seri M. SaravananThe Human Resources Minister said jobseekers would have options to get better salaries and need not work for minimum wage."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 on Friday .

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

He also said wages needed to be increased so people at the grassroots level could have the means to spend, thus improving the economy faster."Data says that every two years, wages must increase," he said.
