Kota Kinabalu: The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public Service (Cuepacs) urged the Government to implement a new minimum wage of RM1,800 a month.

Its President Datuk Adnan Mat said an increase in the minimum wage is urgently needed following the spiralling prices of goods which has put a lot of pressure on public sector staff.

“It is important for the Government to increase the minimum wage for public service employees from the current RM1,500 to RM1,800 a month immediately.
