MP SPEAKS | The impending Budget 2025, which is to be tabled in October, has brought about another round of debate on the minimum wage.There are various opinions on this issue that seem to focus on the quantum to be increased rather than moving progressively forward in building an ecosystem that would help raise the income of workers.There has also been a historical dichotomy between employers and unions in Malaysia regarding the rationale of minimum wage since its implementation in 2013.
A living wage considers the exact costs of basic needs like housing, food, and transportation and also adjusts for the difference between net and gross pay so that employees are sure to take home a sufficient amount.Ensuring living wages for all workers will accelerate the achievement of a wide range of Sustainable Development Goals , in particular, Goal 1: No poverty; Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth; Goal 5: Gender equality; and Goal 10: Reduced inequalities.
