(Reuters) - Manchester United have signed Dutch centre back Matthijs de Ligt and Morocco full back Noussair Mazraoui from German side Bayern Munich on a contract until June 2029 and June 2028, respectively, the Premier League club announced on Tuesday.
PETALING JAYA: The minimum wage in the country should be at least RM2,000 monthly to cover basic living expenses in the current economic climate, say economic experts and labour players.
Cost factor: Williams, Nik Maheran, Arutchelvan and Syed Hussain highlight the growing concerns regarding wage adequacy to sustain the average cost of living.“Bank Negara also estimated a living wage of RM2,700 in 2018 that would now be above RM3,000 taking inflation into account. “This means the minimum wage would be RM2,200 and it would be topped-up to RM2,500 through the reverse income tax credit. This would help employees and employers directly and efficiently without wastage, leakages and corruption. It is a form of Universal Basic Income,” he proposed.
Economist Datuk Prof Dr Nik Maheran Nik Muhammad said the RM1,500 minimum wage in Malaysia was introduced in 2022 to provide a living wage for workers, especially those from low- income households.
