Consider This: Minimum Wage | Resistance & Resilience

May 05, 2023, 02:00 PM

For Micro SMEs, meaning companies with fewer than five full-time workers, the implementation of the new Minimum Wage Order of RM1,500 per month was initially postponed for 6 months, and then delayed further for another 6 months.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Datuk William Ng, Chairperson of SME Association of Malaysia (SAMENTA) and Dr Juita Mohamad, Director of the Economics & Business Unit at IDEAS Malaysia.
