PETALING JAYA: Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) has described Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s minimum wage announcement as a “cunning election announcement”.
Yesterday, Najib said the minimum wage for workers in Peninsular Malaysia will be set at RM900, whereas in Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan, it will be RM800.
PSM secretary-general S Arutchelvan said a higher minimum wage for Peninsular Malaysia is illogical when Sabah and Sarawak have a higher poverty line.
