Offsetting costs: The government has been urged to regulate the price of raw materials so that restaurant operators could keep their prices affordable with the upcoming minimum wage hike.
Budget 2025, which was tabled on Friday, stated that Malaysia’s minimum wage would go up from RM1,500 to RM1,700 effective Feb 1 next year. Restaurant and Bistro Owners Association vice-president Jeremy Lim lamented about ways to keep prices down when costs were rising. With tight profit margins, he said restaurant operators might need to raise prices if they are unable to absorb the increase in costs through other cost-cutting measures.However, consumer groups commended the government on the new minimum wage, calling it long overdue for workers, especially those in cities and urban areas.Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association president Datuk N. Marimuthu said the raise would help workers cope with inflation and the cost of living.
