This is the problem with ppl like u.
U guys don't even want to pay fair wages, complaint about the money flowing outside while ignoring the fact that those foreign workers bring more benefit to this country than just the money.

No wonder Malaysia big business (with lobby their politikus) keep asking for more 'cheaper' foreigners to come to work in this country. At the same time, don't really want to upgrade while knowing our 'poorer' Neighbours are catching up.

Then still confuse why majority Malaysian are poor

this is the biggest BS i've ever seen when i saw sabah on the list

sabah's cost of living and price of goods are the highest in the whole nation, u telling me the bosses there have difficulty paying RM200 extra every month?

Maybe because sabah has the most corrupted govt? Maybe in sabah, all biz have to spend highest % of profit into undertable money, therefore money gone missing from the economy, can't pay more to workers.

"The minimum wage of RM1,700, which will take effect from next February, applies to all workers. This includes non-citizens in the private sector, except for domestic workers and apprenticeship contracts, Bernama reported"

there is nothing to do about undertable money or corrupted gov at all....all price are controlled by the seller itself aka the bosses themselves
the profit margin there is insane which is why u can see a lot of luxury cars on the road....defender on the road there, KL pun kalah
we haven't even go into land cruisers and lexus LX yet

they rather spend the profit on themselves rather than on employees
like the boss my mom worked for...which is considered a rural area of sabah....u have no idea the amount of cars he owned

which is also why there is a video of a podcast posted on IG and they're talking about "work life balance"...everybody in the comment are shooting back because they all understand bosses are not spending a dime on them employees...so the employees might as well prioritize work life balance
now people understand why so many people are praising khairul aming while bosses are condemning him

boss know its either that or pick ulam from tree for dinner for your whole family
long time ago, should have amended policy and make it more attractive for more western companies to invest here to bring up working standard. the small and even big chinaman corpos will have to somewhat follow to stay in the game. easier said than done but beats actively chasing people away and now wooing them back with lower value things e.g. datacenters thats just dumping ground for western tech companies
who to blame? most likely gomen la. maybe the guys from the other political ideology might've done something different asfnjosgnoshnoshrnoaegjaipf help the propaganda ministry is right at my door adfgnodghhosgh.

What will happen is there will be an influx of people from these states
To go outside to work
Then sendiri state cannot develop
Cause no people to work there
Blame sin and maksiat luring the youths away

Gisb got complain they cant pay?

Sana Makan RM4-5 can get to eat wantan mee/char kuey teow/ nasi ayam. KL is double up

Waiting for sabahan to call BS on this bosses 😂

Wcyd Taukeh say they need to change car every year if not how he afford

This!!!!

Malaysian Government have to learn from UK salary distribution by area. That's will take count base on each City.

Syukur I still get RM8 chap fan for 1 meat + 2 vege in Seremban.

tempat dah lah tak banyak peluang perkerjaan. dishwasher at road side store also want to demand min salary susah oh

not he is the best of the best meh?
bright mind ma

What u mean by pay fair wages? I said, even if we pay according to the minimum wages set by gov, no local workers will want take on such jobs. So, now you want those companies to pay more than the minimum wages set by gov for those jobs, then you must expect there will be increase in the price for the products too. Cos you need to factor in those additional cost under your manufacturing cost and then mark up and sell. No companies willing to reduce their earning.

Do people really earn just RM250 back in 1995? Sounds too low even for back then.

Also, I can still find RM10, RM12 chap fan in KL. Heck sometimes can get RM7, RM8. What you take until RM15?

I m sabahan and I can comfirm this is true. That is why come work in kl.

1.7k minimum wages, already complain this and that... Last time my graduate salary in Aust, 1 day pay = 1 month pay in Malaysia. U see kesian or not.

U knew our salary is so low even in today standard, and u keep finding an excuse for not increase the efficiency. For those who can't compete or don't want to change in today's market, just let it die. The market will survive. Just like the work force, if Malaysian can't even want to improve, don't cry father cry mother when our neighbors overtake us in the next decades to come.
