That is the easiest way to come out from Middle Income Trap. Everyone get higher salary, everything increase in price, GDP shoots through 10% growth rate, GDP per capita go up to USD 20k. Everyone is happy. Property developers with large land bank lagi happy. Can sell houses for higher price. Bank also very happy. Can loan out more to the same person when his pay becoming higher. Car dealers are happy. They can sell more cars now.

Did government leaders know why many big business from Malaysia are actually moving their business out of Malaysia.

Our Government actually treat foreign investment better than our own business owned by non-bumiputra when it come to business expansion.

Most of the private sector are already paying well above RM2,000 as it is hard to get talented staff. An accounting graduate going to any of the big 4 audit firms is already offered starting pay of RM4,000pm. There is no point for the Minister to "force" private sector to increase the minimum salary as market forces will dictate the salaries and companies will always pay more to hire talented and important staff. Let it be a free market in the private sector, we dont have places for deadwoods.
