Closing the Gap: From Minimum Wage to Living Wage in Malaysia

🔍This week’s ASLI Insights: tl;dr delves into the recent “Living on the Edge” report by UNICEF and UNFPA. It highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Malaysians post-COVID-19 and sheds light on the insufficiency of the current minimum wage. The report also finds that Malaysians prefer higher wages over other policies to alleviate their burdens.

📝The Malaysian government also responded to the report, with a commitment to review the suggestions comprehensively. The government will also be conducting a pilot progressive wage programme with various stakeholder involvement. Additionally, there was a recent 13% pay hike for civil servants announced by the prime minister, who urged the private sector to join in the spirit of wage increase.
