Effendy stated that MTUC continues to urge the government to be more aggressive in identifying employers who persistently evade compliance or seek ways to reduce wage costs. The press conference was held after the MTUC Dinner and 2024 Labour Day celebration, which was also attended by the Perak state Committee on Human Resources, Health, Indian Community Affairs, and National Integration chairman, A. Sivanesan.Previously, the 2022 Minimum Wage Order took effect on May 1, 2022, setting a minimum wage of RM1,500 per month for all sectors, irrespective of location, applying to employers with five or more employees.
Mohd Effendy suggested that the government announce a new minimum wage rate after a thorough two-year review of the order for the benefit of Malaysian workers, in line with the rising cost of living.“However, the most crucial aspect is the enforcement of the PGM compliance. Even if the minimum wage is raised to RM1,800, if enforcement remains weak, we will continue to face the same issues due to some unscrupulous employers,” he stated.
