He said a technical committee on national wages had already completed its review on the minimum wage.

“I am told that the technical committee is ready to present its recommendations to the National Wages Consultative Council for further discussion, and to bring the recommendations to the Cabinet,” he said at a press conference in Putrajaya today.

He added that the council was scheduled to meet on June 13 to study the 2016 minimum wage review.

“My ministry will prepare a memorandum for the ministers and government to make a decision,” he said.

Minimum wage in Peninsula Malaysia is currently RM1,000, while minimum wage in Sabah and Sarawak is RM920.

The minimum wage review is part of Pakatan Harapan’s manifesto to be implemented within its first 100 days of taking over Putrajaya.
