SOME employers and industry players have agreed to the minimum wage policy which will take effect from May 1, said Human Resources Minister M Saravanan.
Saravanan said this was based on the current development of their company or respective sectors apart from the demand for the entry of more than 500,000 foreign workers received by the ministry.
“The plantation sector is doing extremely well. If the economy is not doing good, how come there is a demand for 519,000 foreign workers?
“Wages needed to be increased to enable the people at the grassroots to spend their money and at the same time improve the economy faster,” said the Tapah MP, after handing over zakat wakalah to 18 mosques and 79 surau in the Tapah parliamentary constituency today.
It was reported that several industry players including restaurant owners and manufacturing associations had asked the Government to give them time to adapt to the current situation before implementing the minimum wage policy.
Saravanan said the Government was working towards creating 600,000 job opportunities in the country.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob on March 19 announced that the Government had agreed to increase the minimum wage to RM1,500 per month by May 1. – April 16, 2022

Update of Singapore's minimum monthly salary set by the government.
"Singapore’s minimum salary for S pass applicants will increase from 2,500 SGD to 3,000 SGD. For S pass applicants in the financial sector, the new minimum monthly salary will be increased from 3,000 SGD to $3,500 SGD."
So S$ 3000 is equal to RM 9363~~ per month.
Therefore Malaysia's minimum salary should be set to RM10K/month.
Malaysian workers are cheated by employers and politicians for decades.

What is the Minimum Wage Under the Progressive Wage Model in Singapore?
The minimum wage for each sector under the PWM is not standardised, and there may be different wage ladders for different categories of jobs within each sector. The minimum wage amount for each sector also increases over time.
For example, general cleaners who work at office and commercial sites, as well as in F&B establishments, must be paid a minimum basic salary of $1,274 (RM 3976~)while general cleaners working in conservancies (e.g. town councils) will have to be paid at least $1,486 (RM 4638~), from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.
From 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023, however, the former category of general cleaners will have to be paid a minimum basic salary of $1,312 (RM 4095~) and the latter, $1,530 (RM 4775~).
Additionally, the minimum wage will also increase as employees undergo training and take on roles that require higher-value skills. To illustrate, from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022, cleaners in conservancies start off as general cleaners with a minimum basic salary of $1,486 (RM 4638~).
However, as they get promoted to refuse collectors, their minimum basic salary rises to $1,698 (RM 5299~) . This amount increases to $1,910 (RM 5961~) if they become supervisors, and further increases to $2,016 (RM 6292~) if they become truck drivers.
Furthermore, a PWM Bonus of at least 2 weeks of basic monthly salary is payable to eligible employees on top of their wages. Employees may be eligible for this bonus if they are employed in the cleaning and landscape sectors, and have worked for the same business for at least 12 months. For eligible part-time employees, this bonus will also be pro-rated.
You may refer to MOM’s website for more information on the prescribed minimum wages by PWM for the cleaning sector, the security sector as well as the landscape sector.

It's not comparable between SG and MY as GDP revenue from different sector.
SG focused on developing high skilled human resources to provide niche and top notch services.
MY focused on manufacturing. In fact, most "no-skill" manufacturing and agri.
When u hv enough high salary singaporean anchoring the economy, everyone at the bottom benefits.
But here in Malaysia, the wealth is concentrated at the tauke. These minimum wage thing is to force T20 tauke to cough up some cash to increase salary of M40 and B40.
When we can provide lucrative Goods and Services to the market, we can increase the salary of M40. When we have 60% of the labour have enough salary, then it's not difficult for B40 to sell RM15 nasi lemak or charge RM200 per hour cleaning.

Singaporeans are as human as Malaysian with same desire, need and ambition.
Singaporean don't live in water to be different.
So basic needs and economic activities are same.
Just admit Malaysians are wasting their resources due to greedy politicians and businessmen.
Also admit that Malaysians lack the drive to excel. They prefer laidback lifestyle than working hard.
