  "summary": "The Malaysian government plans to introduce an e-wages system in June 2027 to monitor employers' compliance with the proposed RM2,000 minimum wage hike. The new system will feature a live dashboard to help ensure workers are paid on time and improve the government's access to wage data across occupations. More than four million workers are expected to benefit from the increase, but the number of skilled workers who would qualify under categories one to eight of the Malaysia Standard Classification of Occupations (MASCO) could not yet be established due to data gaps. The government will exempt micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with annual sales below RM50 million to give them time to adjust to the higher wage floor.",
