Proposed Progressive Salary Policy to be Fine-Tuned by Cabinet, Says Anwar
KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed Progressive Salary Policy will be brought to the Cabinet for fine-tuning and to study the need to provide funds as incentives for its gradual implementation, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said this would be done according to the country’s financial position and policy needs.
He said the policy was discussed at the National Economic Action Council (NEAC) meeting today (Aug 7) as a shift towards job market recovery so that salaries can be increased consistently and distributed more evenly.
“NEAC is of the view that the Progressive Salary Policy is one of the job market reforms to ensure Malaysian workers are not burdened by the cost of living and can enjoy work with decent salaries to guarantee the people’s well-being and realise the agenda of uplifting the national economy,” he said in a statement.
Anwar said this policy model was proposed after NEAC had considered the views and interests of employers and workers. – Bernama
