Even Australia has min wage, but of course, they know how to implement it properly.
People in Malaysia have been demanding rights and voicing out their dissatisfaction.
I agree with the implementation of min wage law. I might be biased as to supporting this implementation because I am another fresh grad. However, quoting from Malaysian Insider, fresh grads are competing neck to neck, not with their other colleagues, rather with the expensive lifestyle. Heck, we might not have the luxury to buy branded hand-phones or items but the extra cash in the account might go to good use for savings and maybe a little convenience of transportation to go to work would do the employees and employers some benefit.
Yes, cheap labour is a good thing to business and employers as it reduces cost and etc. Some might even say that some fresh grads or local workers are not as good or hardworking as the foreign workers.
The idea is striking a balance between the interests of employees and employers. For far too long, employees are subject to mercy of the employers and their market terms. Of course, we might erroneously pass the law with some 'mistakes' here and there. That is how it goes around here, trial and error, subject to complaints and the people's voice.
