00:00I and the young people out there are following the government's rules and regulations to increase

00:08the salary and productivity of the workers, which is the main pillar in the country's

00:14economic development.

00:15In addition, I would like to highlight the diversity aspect between sectors and regions.

00:22Since there are sectors that are labour-intensive, capital-intensive, with permits, the salary

00:28of Senanjung is not the same, the salary of Sabah-Sarawak is also not the same, and the

00:34That is the reality of the labour market in the country.

00:37So my question is, what is the mechanism on the government's side to create a form of

00:44diversity and balance, so that there is no issue of salary gap, which I refer to in the

00:51document on the basis of this progressive salary, so that there is no issue of unbalanced

00:57salary, and there is no issue of large differences between sectors and regions in the country's

01:02economy.
