'Selective' minimum wage policy

By G Vinod - Free Malaysia Today

FMT ALERT SHAH ALAM: The requirement to pay minimum wage for workers may not be made a national policy but applied only in certain sectors or industries, Human Resources Minister Dr S Subramaniam said here today.
He said many countries that implemented minimum wage do not "do it at the national level" but more towards a certain industry's needs and capability.

However, even this needs further study, he said.

Subramaniam added that the Ministry would submit a working paper on this "partial" minimum wage policy later this month.
