PETALING JAYA: Some two million workers in Malaysia are still not being paid the minimum wage since the Minimum Wage Act came into force in January last year.
Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) deputy president Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid said the figure involves a workforce in some 60 to 100 companies in the country which did not comply with the Act.
"This is the known figure. However, the number does not include other companies, which were not reported, which did adhere to the Act," he said.
