Malaysia's minimum wage set at RM800 ($327)

The minimum wage for private sector employees has been set at between RM800 (S$327) and RM900 per month.

The RM900 or RM4.33 per hour is for employees in the peninsula while the RM800 or RM3.85 per hour is for workers in Sarawak, Sabah and the Federal Territory of Labuan.

It covers employees in all economic sectors except those in the domestic service sector such as maids and gardeners.

"This is a special present from the Federal Government to all employees of our beloved country,"  Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said to thunderous applause from the audience.

The rates will take effect six months from the date the Minimum Wage Order (Perintah Gaji Minimum) is gazetted.
