Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad stated that the Malaysian government has no current plans to implement an algorithm for determining fair wages for gig economy workers. He emphasized the ministry's commitment to a balanced regulatory approach that preserves the flexibility of the gig industry. Abdul Rahman highlighted the importance of maintaining the dynamic ecosystem of the gig industry and noted that overly stringent regulations could disrupt it. He stated that a consultative council for gig workers, established in November 2022, will serve as a platform for addressing various issues, including wage-related algorithms, through discussions involving representatives from gig workers, platform providers, government officials, and other stakeholders.
KUALA LUMPUR: The government currently has no plans to introduce an algorithm to set fair wages for gig economy workers, says Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad.
“The fundamental nature of the gig industry needs to be preserved. Overly stringent regulations could disrupt the dynamic ecosystem the industry enjoys,” he said during the Minister’s Question Time in response to a question from Bakri Jamaluddin on whether the government was going to introduce a special algorithm to set a minimum wage for gig workers in Malaysia.
“This council will serve as a strategic discussion platform to address gig worker issues inclusively and constructively, including wage-related algorithms.”
