Business Costs Not An Excuse to Sidestep Minimum Wage

The Minister of Human Resources Datuk Seri M. Saravanan has mooted for minimum wage levels to be increased to RM1500 by the end of the year. This has sparked a debate between labour unions and employer associations on the right timing for wage increases, given the precarious economic recovery. We discuss the economic considerations at play with business commentator Pankaj C. Kumar. Image credit: Shutterstock.com
