Why this matters

The minimum wage rises from RM1,700 to RM2,000 from June 2027, although MSMEs with annual sales below RM50 million are exempted. HRD Corp will use RM3 billion to offer 3 million skills training opportunities in 2027, and the education and skills training tax relief will cover all fields of study.
