Melaka eyes RM2,500 basic salary for workers
MELAKA: The Melaka government will study a proposal to make the state one of the earliest in Malaysia to set a basic salary of between RM2,500 and RM2,800 before submitting its recommendation to the Federal Government.
The Melaka government is considering a proposal to set a basic salary for workers between RM2,500 and RM2,800, potentially making it one of the first states in Malaysia to do so. Chief Minister Dr Ab Rauf Yusoh stated that the proposal will be thoroughly examined before being submitted to the Federal Government to ensure that young people in the state can have better income to build their future.
The government will also aim to provide opportunities for women who have left their careers due to various reasons, including creating new jobs, such as those at the Inland Port in Alor Gajah similar to those previously available at the Port of Tanjung Pelepas. The carnival, running from yesterday to tomorrow, is part of the state government's efforts to give young people the chance to shape their future through various programs like Jom Heboh, a career and skills carnival, and a Town Hall session.
The carnival also promotes Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to help young people secure different future opportunities, particularly in specialized fields like technology.
