Brainstorming Session: Minimum Wage Issue RM1500

Responding to the members’ suggestions, the MACC Committee held a brainstorming session to discuss the actions that need to be taken following the declaration of a minimum wage increase of RM1500 effective 1 May 2022.

The session that was supposed to be held at the Mardhiyyah Shah Alam Hotel had to be moved to the Q-Services Sdn Bhd office due to lack of response from the members. Only twelve people, including the Committee were present for the session.

The President, Mr Noruddin presented a series of minimum wage declarations and press releases issued by Datuk Seri Saravanan and Datuk Noh Omar as well as the follow-up actions taken by the MACC.

The members present have proposed matters to be submitted to the government, to deal with the problem of raising the minimum wage,

  1. Employers are allowed to deduct workers’ wages from the foreign worker levy.
  2. The validity of the work permit is extended to two years. That is, work permit renewal is done every two years to ease the contractor’s burden.
  3. The 25% discount for levy payments introduced during COVID-19 has been extended.
  4. Cleaning workers need to be certified to raise their image and attract local workers.
  5. Classify cleaning contractors according to their ability to reduce contract wrangling.

The committee will refine the suggestions submitted and extend them to the relevant parties.

Sesi Percambahan Fikiran: Isu Gaji Minimum RM1500

Menyahut cadangan ahli-ahli, Jawatankuasa MACC telah mengadakan sesi percambahan fikiran bagi membincangkan tindakan yang perlu diambil berikutan pengistiharan kenaikan gaji minimum RM1500 berkuatkuasa 1 Mei 2022.

Sesi yang sepatutnya diadakan di Hotel Mardhiyyah Shah Alam terpaksa dipindahkan ke pejabat Q-Services Sdn Bhd kerana kurang sambutan dari ahli-ahli. Hanya dua belas orang, termasuk Jawatankuasa yang hadir untuk sesi tersebut.

Presiden, En Noruddin telah membentangkan rentetan pengistiharan gaji minimum dan kenyataan akhbar yang dikeluarkan oleh Datuk Seri Saravanan dan Datuk Noh Omar serta tindakan susulan yang telah diambil oleh MACC.

Ahli yang hadir telah mencadangkan perkara untuk dikemukakan kepada kerajaan, bagi menanggani masalah kenaikan gaji minimum,

  1. Majikan dibenarkan memotong gaji pekerja untuk levi pekerja asing.
  2. Tempuh sahlaku permit kerja di panjangkan ke dua tahun. Iaitu pembaharuan permit kerja dibuat dua tahun sekali bagi meringankan beban kontraktor.
  3. Diskaun 25% untuk bayaran levi yang diperkenalkan semasa COVID-19 di lanjutkan tempuhnya.
  4. Pekerja pembersihan perlu dipersijilkan untuk menaikan imej mereka serta menarik minat pekerja tempatan.
  5. Mengklasifikasikan kontraktor pembersihan mengikut kemampuan mereka untuk mengurangkan perebutan kontrak.

Jawatankuasa akan memperhalusi cadangan yang dikemukakan dan memanjangkannya ke pihak yang berkaitan.
