Higher wages, but higher prices too?


I BELIEVE the recent revision of the minimum wage from RM1,500 to RM1,700 will be a burden to employers.

The expected ripple effect of that is higher prices of goods so that employers can “cover” their higher expenditure. Then, of course, consumers will have to bear this higher cost.
