00:00RM10,908 is the monthly income of a nurse working in Singapore,

00:08which is about 4.4 times higher than the salary for the same job in Malaysia.

00:15Because of this salary gap, at least 1.86 million Malaysians have emigrated abroad

00:23since 50 years ago to look for a better job with a better salary.

00:28On average, as many as 37,200 Malaysians are highly skilled in making decisions to leave the country every year,

00:37showing once again that Malaysia is facing a serious brain drain problem.

00:42So the government needs to take action.

00:45When the budget for 2025 was announced at the National Assembly,

00:49Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced

00:51that the minimum wage will be increased from RM1,500 to RM1,700 per month starting in February.

00:59This increase may seem small for some,

01:03but for 600,000 Malaysians earning RM1,500 or less,

01:09an additional RM200 per month can make a big difference.

01:14It gives an opportunity to save for the future,

01:17enjoy better food, or for recreational spending.

01:22However, there are challenges in increasing the minimum wage.

01:25Nurse workers need to find a way to cope with the rapid increase in costs

01:30while ensuring an increase in productivity.

01:34Without better job opportunities,

01:36businesses may not have a choice.

01:38In addition to increasing the price to cope with costs,

01:41it can also contribute to inflation.

01:44Pujarajaya has allocated millions of ringgit in 2025 spending

01:49to avoid this scenario from happening.

01:52For example, RM400 million has been allocated to PKS

01:57who want to practice digitalization or automation in their operations.

02:03In addition, there is an incentive to pay and fund up to RM100 million

02:08to local suppliers in the high-value and large-scale sector.

02:14Minimum wages need to be saved generously

02:16to reflect the current economic situation.

02:19However, the question is whether local companies

02:22are able to increase productivity

02:25in line with the increase in wages to avoid rising prices.
