Higher Minimum Wage: Ismail Sabri's Legacy, Says PSM

The Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) has hailed the recent increase in Malaysia's minimum wage as a positive step in the right direction, even if it's just a small step. They see it as a key part of Prime Minister Ismail Sabri's legacy, claiming it's "a significant improvement" for workers' lives.

What's the fuss about? The minimum wage in Malaysia has been raised to RM1,500 for workers in Peninsular Malaysia and RM1,250 for Sabah and Sarawak. This is a good move for many workers, especially those who are struggling to make ends meet.

But, hold on. The PSM is not just throwing roses at the government. They also point out that the increase is still not enough to keep up with the rising cost of living. The party believes that a minimum wage of RM1,800 is needed to cover basic necessities, such as food, rent, and transportation.

The PSM is not alone in calling for a higher minimum wage. Many other organizations and individuals have also expressed support for a more substantial increase.

So, what's next? The PSM is pushing for a long-term plan to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. They believe this is crucial to ensure that all workers can enjoy a decent standard of living.

Bottom line: The increase in minimum wage is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to ensure that all workers can afford a decent life. This is a challenge we all need to face head-on, and the PSM is leading the charge for a brighter future for Malaysian workers.
