Malaysia's Progressive Wage Policy to be fully implemented in October

• The Progressive Wage Policy (PWP) in Malaysia is set to be fully implemented in October after a successful pilot project and positive feedback from employers and workers.

• The policy aims to improve wages and working conditions for low-income workers by setting minimum wage rates and providing incentives to employers who participate in the program.

• The government has allocated RM50 million for the implementation of the pioneer project, including incentive payments for employers who meet certain conditions, which is expected to benefit around 20,000 local workers.
