KOTA KINABALU: Kerajaan bersedia mempertimbangkan kenaikan gaji minimum melebihi RM1,700, sekiranya prestasi ekonomi negara terus berkembang kukuh dalam masa terdekat.

Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim turut berpendapat, gaji minimum RM1,700 yang dinikmati pekerja pada masa ini, masih tidak mencukupi untuk menampung perbelanjaan harian mereka.

“Dulu sebelum kami mengambil alih kerajaan, gaji minimum ialah RM1,200. Kemudian dinaikkan kepada RM1,500.

“Tahun lalu, kami naikkan lagi kepada RM1,700. Apakah itu mencukupi? Saya tidak percaya itu cukup. Sebaik sahaja ekonomi kita kukuh, saya akan naikkan gaji minimum,” katanya semasa Program Townhall PMX Bersama Anak Muda Inanam, di sini, hari ini.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika mengulas pertanyaan seorang pelajar, yang menyatakan gaji minimum di Sabah masih belum dilaksanakan sepenuhnya.

Anwar turut memberi contoh syarikat berkaitan kerajaan (GLC) yang menetapkan gaji minimum lebih tinggi, bagi memastikan kebajikan pekerja terjaga.

“Kalau kita mempunyai kuasa penuh di syarikat kerajaan, gaji minimum ditetapkan RM3,100. Itu standard yang kita mahukan,” katanya.

Beliau menambah, kerajaan sebelum ini juga telah menaikkan gaji kakitangan sektor awam sehingga 30 peratus, bagi menangani kos sara hidup yang meningkat.

Anwar turut memaklumkan terdapat beberapa sektor di Sabah yang diberi pengecualian daripada pelaksanaan kenaikan gaji minimum.

Bagaimanapun, beliau menegaskan kerajaan bersedia mengadakan perbincangan semula, bagi memastikan pekerja di Sabah tidak tercicir daripada kenaikan gaji minimum.

“Kalau di Sabah ada beberapa tempat yang diberi pengecualian, tetapi saya bersetuju dengan anda, kita harus terus berunding untuk menaikkan gaji minimum termasuk di Sabah,” tambahnya.

inflation still low.

So now gaji minimum gonna be 2k?

Fresh grad already 2k

Means no degree 2k

Degree also 2k

Study for what lanchiao

Cost going up without improvement of productivity.
How to curb that?

pertimbangkan menurunkan kos makanan .bahan mentah

Keyword " kita harus terus berunding"

Basah kene ken....

Private enterprise is not like GLC
able to tolerate waste and inefficiency.
Coolies and peons enjoice only
play more handphone after naik gaji
Reducing cost of living is harder, you see
Wither goeth thou food security oh Madani?

got degree also become grab rider, no difference anyways

nowadays study just like investment . it might not worth for now ,but in near future might be

The issue is not study but cost of getting a degree. The salary vs cost - it's virtually debt. Not all job require degree. When the supply of graduate is over the demand, obviously kena low ball by HR.

Now with AI, some of these job can be automatically be reduce or manpower required to do certain work may be unnecessary.

temberang time pruns
lots of small business workers here still got only 900 wages a month

Naik gaji minimum, but gaji pekerja lain, senior, up to boss still sama..
end up we struggle to pay for food/basic necessities as they increase their price to cope with minimum wages..

naik gaji minimum = inflation everywhere = more RM spent = GDP naik = more tax revenue

GDP naik looks good on paper, but in reality induced inflation is basically savings tax by reducing the value of ringgit and everyone's saving's value

Yup.
Naik minimum pay sounds nice sahaja.
Smoke and mirrors used by politicians to get votes.

In reality everything also naik in tandem with minimum wage.
