KOTA KINABALU: The government will look into the possibility of setting a more realistic minimum wage according to business sectors, said Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran.

The current minimum wage of RM1,100 is across the board for all sectors and some of the businesses which found it too steep have had to lay off workers or close some of their outlets.
